election, poem, priorities, why are we meaner

why does it excite you to see people cry?
why do you cheer to see them hurt and in pain?
why do you thrill to know so many will die?
if a stranger beat you, you would protest,
but strangers brought low brings a gleam to your eye?
could it be because you’re not very nice?
could it be because you’re the bad guy?
