A Responsibility

With responsibility comes accountability.
Having your voter's card gives you the ability,
To elect leaders who will bring about stability,
Leaders who are dependable and have credibility.
People are leaving lives of fear and vulnerability,
Even in their homes where they should have tranquility.
Do not think you will be free, upon you too, there is liability, 
In bringing bringing about peace with sustainability. 
With your vote, you also can be a great facility.
Because you are a citizen with rights and eligibility. 
Remember, with responsibility comes accountability.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
