It's Your Right

It’s Your Right

Yesterday I met a man,
who stated that he didn't understand, 
all this hype about "get out and vote",
in his opinion we're a nation without hope.
I explained that, this type of thinking,
is the main reason, our rights are shrinking.

Many battles were fought to make us equal,
choosing to not vote, will re-write the sequel,
to the upcoming movie of the "American People."

We All have a voice, We All have the right,
to exercise our freedoms for a comfortable life.
So, in my opinion, if you don't "vote,"
it's the opposition you will promote!
