vote! VOTE!…

Vote! VOTE!

And remember two facts:

It’s a right and responsibility

For us to enact.

  Part of our job is

To listen and learn

The candidates’ plans

Which we must discern.

 Don’t let the media

(Social or news)

Tell you what to think

It is you who must choose.

  Our freedom as citizens.

Gives us that right.

Don’t take either for granted.

They can disappear overnight.

 And, whether you live

in a red state or blue

Your vote counts

As much as you do.

  Your vote Is an act

of democracy.

One of millions

Throughout our history.

 The more votes recorded,

No matter for whom,

The stronger we are

If we give each other room

  To listen and speak

To hear one another,

Turn down the noise

So we can discover

 We have things in common.

A good place to start

To move our country forward

For those close to our hearts.

  Just as 55 delegates

Did long ago:

They wrote the Constitution

That we might know.

 What it means to be free

To grow and evolve,

Change when we should

Make things better for all.

  America is a privilege.

We can learn from the past

To preserve and protect it.

We want it to last. 

 Vote!  VOTE!!
