Vote

Go to the polls

I nearly froze

I held my nose as I marked my X

Another vote cast

Not my first, not my last

All that I ask is for something positive

Is this the best my country can do?

Seems they’re all in it for them

So what’s left for you?

I am one in 37 million….

Is this the cream of the crop?

The microphone drop

The skeletons populate the House

Proportionally not

It’s first past the post

I’m tired of ghosts

I want solutions based approach

The planet is dying

Refugees crying

Racism and intolerance gaining speed

The invisible hand

Strength to the Man

Capitalize upon our greed

We are the cure,

We are the cause

We created Santa Claus

Politically correct

The noose round our neck

Strangles propaganda into our brain

To critically think

Black, brown and pink

Irrelevant, divisive, distinct

We should be all one

Not under the gun

Or tyranny of wealth and poverty

I am one in 7.7 billion….

Borders and pens

Angry white men

Everybody is pissed off these days

They victimize you,

But you do it too

Oblivious or apathy?

Did you go and mark your X today?

Did you stand up and use your right

To have your say?

War tears our earth, here we have rights at birth

The same so many others are fighting for

Taken for granted

The seeds that were planted

Choking under pesticide mist

The weed misunderstood

Don’t see it’s good

hemp, or dandelion

we all want that perfect lawn

but the picket fence is gone

replaced by solid, stolid walls

Go to the polls

I nearly froze

I held my nose as I marked my X

Another vote cast

Not my first, not my last

All that I ask is for something positive

Is this the best my country can do?

Seems they’re all in it for them

So what’s left for you?

I am one in 37 million….
