I missed the party

I missed the party this week
Purple tinge of lavender
'Twas invitation for me
What was I doing, don't know

Took the streets, we called them ours
This time, with signs, my voice, quiet

I missed the party this week
Fun filled, messages to tell
We are the majority
Our voices need to be heard

This is in relation to and with A BIG THANK YOU, LADIES!!! for their valiant March last Saturday, after our U.S. Presidential Election.  They marched literally all over the world, in large cities and small town.  Perhaps your friends did, some of mine marched.

In that election the majority did not win because of the ancient and antiquated method of running our subsequent Electoral College Election, consisting of 538 electors allocated to our states and territories.  This election is also mandated by the U.S. Constitution and there the majority of the electors voted for another person, who came in second nationwide, as the state elections directed to their electors.
