You’re stuck with a leaky lifeboat?
Cherish your vote.
You seek the system to berate –
Join the debate.
If daily news puts you in stress,
Clean up the mess.
Election time brings no redress –
Polls and ballots you have to bear
If civil rights you wish to share.
Cherish your vote. Join the debate. Clean up the mess.
