Notes About The Poem

We may not have the best of choices for our next president but we must cast our vote; it is our right and duty if we care about the United States of America. Don't complain if you don't vote

Three Days Out

Three Days Out
By Franklin Price
11/5/2016

Three days out and then it's done
Will have elected only one
To be the leader of this land
Drum major of the marching band

The people's options worse than bad
The worst this country's ever had
But we must use our voting voice
For whom we think is our best choice

Don't stay at home and hide your head
Go to the polls and vote instead
Tuesday night when all is done
We will have selected only one

If the elected turns out good
Can say I voted as I should
If  turns out bad then I can say
I cast my vote the other way

If I do not go to cast my vote
I cannot say a thing of note
I have no right to have a say
About who's in election day
