[Vision2020] The Right To Vote

The Right To Vote

Author unknown

I hold my ballot in my shaking hand 
And say to myself: this is cause and effect. 
The opportunity is so grand 
I have spent all my life to expect. 

You have lived in a free country, 
Here you and your ancestors were born; 
Your civil rights are numerous and sundry; 
Please do feel pity for the forlorn. 
I had exercised my right to vote 
In my native land’s first ever election: 
Illiterates did not know what cadres wrote; 
Bad factions led them to wrong direction. 

Wanting self-rule, people grew wiser; 
The patriots just built a young nation. 
But the invaders, however, were slyer: 
Elections were only to shield usurpation.
