SUPPRESSING THE VOTE

Suppressing The Vote People get involved, get out and vote Your rights being dissolved, just take note No policies to offer, so they revert to cheating Rather than being fair, just take the beating Suppression tactics, implementing unconstitutional rules As though we live in a darkened abyss, as dumb downed fools Your vote is the energy required to eliminate the grab for power Put aside our differences, cast a collective vote, in this shining hour These faulty tactics are spread throughout Red states The anger and disbelief of the majority, motivates Don’t let ignorance penetrate under your skin Do your due diligence, cast your vote and we will win It’s a sad state of affairs, when they’re gaslighting Get educated, be informed and continue fighting No doubt, changing times, are the focal point Don’t allow these suppression tactics to disappoint Many minds are confused and brainwashed Suppress your biases and hatred, don’t be used as props Get real, be serious, evaluate what’s at stake Think about your future and don’t hesitate Rather than separate, just join in and celebrate While you ponder, and contemplate, don’t underestimate The country is sitting on a powder keg Self reflection, should not leave you to beg This current day political climate, filled with strife Should not be the defining moment of your life Integrity and character is the measuring principle Human interaction based on differences, may be visceral Don’t allow deception and division to be the standard Do the right thing, vote or be left unheard Giving credence to those with ulteria motives Relinquishing our power to set the narratives Voter suppression, the goal is cruelty and to disenfranchise For the majority, realize that together, we can’t be minimized Project 2025, laser focused on installing a Dictator Reasonable people will not join forces with the Traitors It’s always a wonder, why hypocrites call themselves Christians Constantly projecting hatred, not believing that we’re all Americans Forgive them Father, they know not what they do Ask the question, is that really your Worldview Showcasing and flaunting disrespect in our face Invading and corrupting our sacred space Our only weapon is our faith in God’s word Standing on the promise of the message we heard Author: Floyd Neal September 21, 2024 Inspiration: Family and Neighbors
