I Voted Today

I voted today And I voted my way, I decided my own choice I heard only my voice. When I went to the booth I wasn't followed by a sleuth, My conscience was there For which I did care. I already knew my decision With pure precision, I voted without hate or violence As I voted in silence. If my vote loses It's because how the voters chooses, There's no cheating clerks It's how democracy works. No one was looking over my shoulder I was the lone ballot holder, No one was whispering in my ear I knew what I wanted to hear. If my candidate or amendment does lose It's because how the people did chose, I will not argue, fight or have a fit The voters are the ones who accepted it. Today I voted for me And I also voted for my country, Today, I hope to be remembered and quoted Today, I patriotically voted. Randy L. McClave
