My Civic Duty

I went to vote and wasn’t on their list
Made me wonder ‘do I really exist’
Miles and miles of names she read
You are just not here she finally said
But this can’t be I know I vote
All the issues I know by rote
Each candidate I know by name
But couldn’t vote all the same
Because I wasn’t on their list
I’m a registered voter I still insist
I vote because I know I should
But all my protesting did no good
You cannot vote she did insist
Because your name is not on my list

Great topic. In some states, you could still vote.
