Your Vote's The Antidote

Your vote's not a privilege, it's a right; earned through the sacrifice of blood and tears. And cast in private, it's the only light you have to highlight your concerns and fears. It gives you an equal voice with your peers; utilize it, before it disappears. Look at what is occurring around you; politicians in cahoots with cutthroats. By spreading lies, till no one knows what's true, the wealthy are manipulating votes. Using smug smiles and charming anecdotes: grifters have us pay for their jets and boats. Your ballot is cast in a voting booth, where only you see the choices you make. Political ploys impact today's youth for it's their future and freedoms at stake. There are no guarantees in a handshake, and billionaires don't rate a tax break. Before you have no rights, get out and vote; power poisons; your vote's the antidote.

A strong message of the importance of voting, Emile. I am always shocked at the high % of non-voters.
