The Day Before

The day before we cast our votes
I sit here and reflect
On how we make our choices
For the person we select.

We read the news, we watch debates,
We listen and we choose,
In hopes that if our nominee
Wins out, we’ve less to lose.

It doesn’t always work that way,
For anyone with brains
Must know we really cannot trust
What’s said in most campaigns.

Yet still, on this Election Day,
We’ll cast our doubts aside
And register our ballots
With our conscience as our guide.
