Like every good American
I voted.
I searched and researched
the lesser evil
My choice was based on my conscience
The things I believe in
Yet none I voted for won
It’s a recurrent theme
The lies and crookedness continues
Always does always will
Nobody will clean up anything
But back to the polling booth
I will go next time
because it’s my inalienable right
See you there.

I voted, too, loud and proud from home.

Nope. They never do. They haven’t since I lived in Iowa.

And sometimes, voting became, the people’s only, mean of, silently, objecting to the governments’, dictatorship ruling styles, and, no matter how we try to fight, it’s of, no, avail, because a corrupt political party still takes, control over our, governments…but we still, go to the voting booths, because we think, that our votes, mattered…

For a number of years I didn’t vote. I kept getting told that as a Christian it’s my responsibility. So I registered and have voted ever since. But I still wonder the difference just one vote makes because I haven’t seen it.

I do believe someone I voted for won! And I vote the same way you do; with research and my own beliefs.

We continue to carve out time to cast our vote in case it truly is the one that makes a difference. We pray that it does, get disheartened when we see the obvious deception that goes on, hidden with the power of a dollar. And yet, we try again and again in the hope we can make a change.
