No one told me I cldn’t
Today I voted
I didn’t have to march
I didn’t have to go to jail
I didn’t even have to sit in
Today I voted
My clothes are dry
No power hoses in sight
Today I voted
No menacing dogs
And their ferocious bites
Today I voted
I wasn’t cursed,
beat, or killed
Today I voted
for the brave before me
Today I voted for them
And today I voted
for him…
