Cast Your Vote

Whatever issue’s got your goat, Today’s the day to hustle To where you get to cast your vote And flex your civic muscle. Debates are over, ads are done; You’ve come to a conclusion, So mark your ballot. Everyone Is under the illusion That who we want will likely win But half of us, in choosing, Will pick the one, to our chagrin, Who’ll end up badly losing. Better, though, to take a stand And have our choice recorded, Since some of us throughout the land Will have our hopes rewarded.

I always take the opportunity to vote but it’s a bitter pill, knowing that ‘none of them’ will achieve anything… or really even try. Good write, Ilene. Terry

Well said, Ilene, but sad news for all those who let others make the decision for them! Aloha!

Well, I certainly hope I'm in the group of winners tonight. I waited in a long line just to mark my ballot for the winners! Good poem, Ilene.
