Voting Day
I watched her put her earrings in
zip-up her favorite dress
line her lips in crimson red
and do the lipstick press
She glanced at me and grabbed her bag
there was no time to waste
the Voting Polls had opened
we had to move with haste
She made it like a holiday
the day she cast her Vote
and spoke of it for days before
on calendar, made note
She said in other countries
kings and queens ruled over all
treating them like property
from high on gilded-wall
But this is a democracy
we Vote for who will lead
there are no kings or princes
in America, we’re free
