Election day so cast your ballot,
step into the box so no one can see,
who to choose is hard one to swallow,
the one who promises wealth aplenty,
or the one who chooses care and hope,
still others offer this and that,
it's a conundrum as old as we,
thoughts should be open to the plights of others,
less fortunate and able to get to equal,
it is easy to think of oneself and forget the rest,
to do so is cruel and something we should detest,
so think of the man or woman you passed,
that one day in the cold windy rain,
homeless and hopeless they seemed,
yet you can give them what they need,
in that box on election day.
