So, You Want My Vote

 

I’m a citizen, tell me something of note

If you have the gall to ask for my vote

 

Don’t tell me the others are not safe

Don’t tell me of news that’s really fake

 

Let’s hear the vision you have for us

Or don’t bother to lecture us

 

We are not fools that believe just anything

We are life busy, so be clear and say something

 

Why can’t there be a true debate

Instead of all this yelling and hate?

 

Why don’t we respect each other

And not hide truth from one-another?

 

And when you get there to fulfill your oath

Why would you pound your chest and boast?

 

The reason you’re there is to serve

Not to gloat about something you don’t deserve

 

Work with each other, make a future of note

Don’t just battle and position for my next vote!
