Time To Vote

The right to vote handed down history's time
Bought by blooded soldiers both yours and mine

We must not forget their service and why
For such costly a gift many did die

This November we Americans privilaged to vote
Believing our choice wont turn into a goat

A president whose sole purpose is the American dream
But I fear at the end we Americans will still scream

Tis a scream for delight or concerned regret you see
If your American dream doesn't become a reality
