Best Right To Vote Poems
Don’t speak to me of freedom’s loss
Free speech that treasured jewel
Lives cut short the human cost
How governments misrule
Its not a crime to have your say
To speak about the truth
Your silence is to high price, to pay
Make sure you use that polling booth
Mandela spent many years on a devil's isle
And women died to gain the right to vote
Many soldiers fell in wars, defending your lifestyle
Don’t make freedom of speech your scapegoat
No ones ever died from listening , to the spoken word
But many defending the right to speak
to deny the right would be absurd
never punish those that dare to speak

Republicans? Immoral! Lord, that's all there is to that!
Like in the song, "Their heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags,"
Though Democrats (not better) hate to stoop so low to win,
They feel Christ's death, seek brotherhood, at times admit to sin.
Republicans are arrogant, love "trickle down largess,"
To get rich, they'd leave others bare, stark naked, not a stitch,
The way to know Republicans? They idolize control,
While Democrat's may lust, they sometimes think about their soul!
Republicans say Dems enable poor to stay a mess,
No doubt of that! We think, at least, we ought to offer chance,
Good school for kids, a right to vote, and tools for basic health,
A job that pays a decent wage, slaves owned aren't proof of wealth.
Republicans, some Harvard trained, smoke existential snow,
Think they are free, there is no sin, the mind is only art,
God loves the rich; there’s just one hitch, their virtue’s just a mask,
Their s--t stinks too, their Waterloo, salvation from a cask.
The Democrats parse life with guilt, long for utopia,
In saving others save themselves, they won’t let justice be,
They think that they can honor God by pinning truth to mat,
It’s vanity when man attempts to woo Jehoshaphat.
Though ‘Right’ thinks Rich means they own God, I know God loves them still,
The ‘Left’s’ self-serving brand of justice proves they have no cure,
Both Left and Right think they must fight to prove the other wrong,
The love of others all day long is Heaven’s only song.

Voting time is upon us
One time when we can choose who should govern
The time that many wish they could have but it is forbidden
I will be there to cast my ballot; I will not neglect this privilege
Not let Nellie McClung and the 5 down; cannot let their victory be in vain
Go vote, go vote!
Do not shun a day many would die to have
All around the world death is the result of asking for the right to vote
Yes, go vote go vote!
If you do not, change might come for the worse or it won’t come at all
So go vote and insure change happens for the better
Never forget, ladies, we have only had this for not even 100 years
End the belief, oh people of youth, that the young don’t vote
Always remember voting day is a day many have longed for but have not had, and have died trying to get.
Remember to go vote and celebrate Canada by participating in its democracy!

If there ever was a time in the history of human, it is now that one’s being is
bound to civic duty impost.
He or she is a loyal citizen of his or her nation.
Intensified is the fortress bond of armory and strength.
Through our faith and courage, our minds and our heart have engaged vigor.
Dynamism is diversification via structure.
What is seen is statement beyond repose via strategy.
As we discuss the militant way, we centralize our thoughts
To suffering in other nations against dogmatic methods, systemically
approached the right to vote interposed by illegality of the election booth
intervened by bribes and other means to destroy equability.
What is seen is statement beyond repose via strategy.
Impartiality is an assured plus of unanimous.
Political leaders aboard focus on a suppressed nation through their views on
enslavement and incapacitate.
For sure, this is the Stalin’s views of the Ukraine orders retain.
To incarcerate through tenets of rapaciousness is cruel.
Therefore, what is seen is only a system of beliefs.
The Ukrainians must remain free to be at liberty.

History books are filled with men’s escapades
Are women’s accomplishments seen as charades?
Joan of Arc had visions of saints leading her
to save France from Britain’s tyrannical cur.
Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat --
defending rights, she’d not succumb to defeat
Mary Magdalene had historians confused;
she watched Christ die, though apostles refused.
Eleanor Roosevelt was the eyes and ears
of FDR; she stood behind him through the years.
Marie Curie, first female to win the Nobel Prize,
joined her husband in efforts to save human lives.
Indira Gandhi ruled India two decades --
first woman leader killed when the Sikhs did invade.
Princess Di’s royal wedding seemed filled with joy.
Her death: an accident or a royal ploy?
But it’s Mary Shelley who seems most ignored.
Men said Percy wrote “Frankenstein”; Mary they abhorred.
Mother Theresa spent years serving the poor.
Sainthood come fast, by many she was adored.
These women claim their rightful place in history;
why others were ignored seems a mystery.
Women fought successfully for the right to vote.
Countless mothers to children their lives they devote.
Eve bit the apple, but all women bear the stain
of being weak, frail -- a concept I disdain.

The South is best known for their Southern cooking, including some collard greens. All
Southern foods have been around since Abe Lincoln ended slavery for good and when
African-Americans have earned the right to vote. What's so great about southern cooking is
that everybody's eating a home-cooked meal, just like their moms used to make. There's lot
of Southern foods we all love: there's fried and barbecue chicken, some collard greens,
mac and cheese, candied yams, some corn bread, the works. When everybody's eating the food
from the South, it's like eating at a Southern buffet restaurant in Mobile, Alabama, on a
Sunday afternoon, and upon leaving church. And along with their food, they've got some
homemade lemonade, sweet iced tea, and other Southern drinks. Their food is going to wish
that these people would stay in the South for a long, long time. Come to think of it,
Southern cooking is as good as soul food that is made in the city of Atlanta, Georgia,
especially when they're eating some chicken and waffles, some chicken fried steak, and
shrimp and grits. Now how delicious is that? And everyone will be talking about the food
they've eaten and recommend their favorite Southern restaurants to their friends and
family members, even on holiday. Boy, are we going to have a Southern fest with our
favorite foods from the South, including some crawfish, some barbecue ribs, hot water corn
bread, every piece of food everyone can think of. And after this Southern fest is done at
the end of the day, we'll be wanting some more of that Southern cooking.

Freedom
It's not just about what country you live in
It's not about the rights you have.
It's not about the religion you choose to practice
You also have the right not to choose one at all.
It's not about being able to stand up and speak your mind.
It's not about your right to vote
Or your right to choose the life or death of the unborn
Freedom is a gift from God
Starting with free will
Freedom was not given to be taken for granted
Men died for you to have freedom
Racism shouldn't exist in a free society
They watched friends die on the battlefield
against tyranny for your children to live free.
It's a gift worth fighting for
even when you really don't want to fight.
When we start respecting the gift
The wrongs in this country will be made right
The futures of your children deserve for us to get it right.
Black people, white people, native people, Mexican people
All people want to see their children grow up free and happy
It's time we let them.

Happy 5th birthday have you accepted rape into your life,
It's a patriarchal practice built from sadism and male strife,
A hedonistic ritual to keep us all under control,
The birthright of masculinity bestowed upon all men young and old,
They'll decry our institution of commercialized fear funded by the tax payer's dime,
But don't let them hide the irrevocable fact that their gender alone commits crime,
Just listen to their protests of our paranoia and self-destructive delusions,
Wielding weapons of statistics the opposition seeks to incite societal confusion,
Be wary of their minstrels reciting chants for equality,
Brace yourself against the trollish foot soldiers' brutal tactics of social media skullduggery,
Be mindful my child the only knights in your life should be white,
Not those racist, misogynistic, patriarchal, bigoted, transphobic, ableist , MRA troglodytes,
The worst of their scum are the generals leading the charge from the courts and Youtube channels,
Polluting governmental positions on the discriminatory grounds of merited credentials,
Debunking "fact" after "fact" of our beloved ideology,
Do they really think my feelings are superseded by rationality,
It is imperative my children not to be deceived our greatest enemies come from within our own ranks,
So called "women" who strive to be their best denying any notion of a patriarchal state,
Just because they became successful doesn't mean all other womyn can be,
Your hard-earned accomplishments poison our minds with absurd notions of individuality,
They don't realize that womyn are oppressed everywhere,
Deemed worthless by society unless they're in the kitchen with a baby in tow,
Unable to walk outside without a male escort and deprived the right to vote,
Yes that may be in Saudi Arabia but we Western womyn are just as oppressed too,
Through the hashtag "yesallwomen" we can count ourselves among the downtrodden and render all naysayers moot,
Us feminists will not stand for this institutionalized patriarchy,
We demand the dismantling of this hateful misogynistic army,
To pave the way for our lord and savior Hillary Clinton.

Independence sought freedom's key
Nonetheless freedom was not free.
Demanding equal voice and rights
Equality was met with fights.
People paid for it with their lives
Ensuring liberty survives.
Neighbors committed to self-rule
Denounced foreign reign as cruel.
Each tax was a knife to their throat
No subject had the right to vote.
Courage, followed by bravery
Expunged indentured slavery.

I have a view 'maybe its wrong.? That some older guys have come on 'strong'
These 'figureheads' of project fear, represented the young we were told so clear
1 Richard Branson 'vintage' 65..' Has almost half a decade on younger guys
Or girls; yet over to the 'youth' let's let them decide..'
2 Tony Blair at age 59, would you chill with him.? the morgue of war aside.'
I guess he counts you would indeed, You young are his peers, Or was he on speed.?
Alister Campbell, no doubt he's known; at the skate arena or free runners zone
A truthful statement, I've forgotton his age ( over 25? ) lets put that on a page
The facts are out there.' As far out as it seems' the stuff of nightmares was
Woven into dreams, not dreams of them owning their own U K home
That's for young British homeless with no vote of their own.' for them no KlostersOr Aspen snows, they can 'chill'on pavement blood and mind going slow'
These must be the young 'old remain represent?' no credit rateing no chance
even to rent, parents can't help they were repossesed, & for servicing loans.'
Gov.com UK sold them to debt; that was pre millenium 'go generate' wealth
Then a few years on their wage was seen by gov.com as too high; obscene
Adverts were placed in eastern block news, come to Britain cut the wage
Smash it down & the job prospects for UK youth; to me that's how it seems.'
So to the young, one of which I'm ( not ) I salute you & your right to vote
Now the guys named above I consider bad jokes, they insult my intelligence
And maybe that of the youth.? So here's to a true British method known
As facing the truth, lets smooth out the 'wrinkles' let the bettter choice be
The best for the country; may the young, those 'who can' make the choice
To vote their counterparts free..'

Should you vote the democratic ticket, then let the farce be with you!
All I can say is please do some serious research before you do.
It’s not just about change but this country’s future is at stake,
Check out both candidates records, times are getting too serious to make any mistakes.
Many, many men have died for our freedom and the right to vote,
Do not vote on infatuation, cause it was shed blood that bought it, I do not mean to gloat.
The issue that worries me most is our economy is rapidly falling apart,
They need to cap the price of crude it’s eroding this nations heart.
I don’t know of one thing that hasn’t increased in the last two years,
You can call it what it is but we have allowed this to happen and now we are facing our
worst fears.
We have become too dependent on foreign oil,
It’s time to crank up those drilling rigs and start punching holes right here in American
soil.
And when they need our wheat or grain,
Sell it to them at a jacked up price let them feel the hurt and pain.
No more weapons to foreign countries shall we sale,
As far as I’m concerned they can all go straight to h—l.
No more being Mr. Nice Guy let them fend for themselves,
Let us take care of what we have and start stockpiling our shelves.
I think it is time for this country and it’s people to unite for the right reasons.
Time is not on our side, the Lord is about to return, read the signs know the seasons.

So your great gran
was a suffragette
She fought for the right for women to vote
She thought that would make a woman equal,
put them on the same footing as a man
Looking back, that was misguided thinking
by woman like your great gran
Your great gran
and her suffragette sisters
didn't count on their own gender betraying them
To use their hard fought freedoms perversely
Frivolously,
and in the end, irresponsibly
Now you're using your right to vote
to remove the stigma of using dope
Using your freedoms to enhance your breasts,
to mutilate yourself
To smoke cigarettes,
sadly giving yourself cancerous flat chests
Surrogate suffragette,
carrying another woman's baby
The same woman who fought for the right
to have you as her breeding pet
You got your great gran
rolling in her grave I bet
Surrogate suffragette,
my how you're fighting so hard to suppress
all those good freedoms women worked too hard to get
Free to get equal pay,
free to keep your job
should a pregnancy comes your way
Free to smash the glass ceiling,
free to abolish gender hire double dealing
Surrogate suffragette,
you say you're a thoroughly modern woman
But your great gran wouldn't recognize you,
if you were walking down the street
and she saw you coming

America, self appointed leaders of the free world...I guess he who haveth
the biggest guns can choose...We will never lose...again that is...
I love this country, although lacking ancient tradition just means that we
will be the most ancient of America's traditions a thousand years from now
when they study us...
And true to America's form for theatrics what do we do? We give them a show...
A comedy in fact starring people who are already stars...
What a debauchal we have in our presidential race this voting season...Can
someone give me a reason?...A reason why we are left with the candidates
we currently have...
The final showdown shaping up to be The Grump versus The Chump...Oh
how I can hear the world laughing...I can feel our future generations eyes
looking back at us with disgusted amusement!!!
Clinton and Trump...Reality T.V. at its best...Don't you fret the ratings will
be great...state by state...The entire world will be watching...and laughing...
Everyone is going to laugh at us...Are already laughing at us...The mockery
we've made out of our election process...Out of our right to vote...I hate this
show...Can you hear them???
I am not laughing...I am not laughing at all...

Privately educated, privileged backgrounds .……no problem per se …….…but ......we're led by these plum in mouth toffs by the troughful.…... their snouts in the pockets of the electorate, creaming the real workers of cash for taxes .…....so long as they're okay with backhanded deals and offshore accounts, their empathy remains as real as a cuboid moon.
Distrustful dinosaurs with prehistoric rhetoric....... and arrogance beyond belief .......they give the people grief. Arguably their role is to be unpopular..... no reflection of the real people, no microcosm, no cross section, no true representation of us compounds their ability to irritate.
This is politics in full swing, full of stuck up d*cks and silly twerps in tailored shirts telling us how to vote. When can this change to a real democracy? ........Real parties talking real issues with real solutions with real taxes spent on real things. The equilibrium is unbalanced, the donkey jacket came and went ......now we're left with just the donkeys, more mules to carry the weight of their own egos.
We have the right to vote.....we pride ourselves on this democratic right...but this is looking through the rose tints.….I only have the ability to vote for different shades of beige....unless I want to become a part of an extremist, sensationalist mob.….I don't.... I just want a real choice of real people..….so for now my ballot card will remain a useful piece of cardboard.... to fold and prop up the wonky leg on my dining room table.

You can look the other way, say you did not see a thing
Do not want to get involved, let the other guy do it
Beside you have to many other things to do
You want to hear the music, but you don't want to sing
If backed into a corner, you throw a fit
That is what some people will do
Don't take a stand, but go with the flow
Power in numbers, but the majority is not always right
Some day if you lose your right to vote
That would be a sad thing for anyone to know
You would lose the war without a fight
And complain that you missed the boat
You say you want relaxation and distractions
Besides this is all to complicated to understand
It works in their plan, they will give it to you
Like taking candy from a baby, could care less of your reactions
Like a heavy fog it will cover this land
And this is what they are planning to do
If your head is in the cloud, you will never see a thing
If you turn a deaf ear, you will hear less
Never get called on, if you do not raise your hand
They want you totally numb, never feel a thing
And we wonder why we are in such a mess
Some live in La La Land, with their head in the sand
