When it's time to vote...

The calendar

Sits heavy on the wall,  

Whispers of change  

Filling every hall.

A date circled in red  

Like a heartbeat’s call.  

Through the streets we walk,  

Voices that sway and hum.

The power lies in our hands,  

In the hands of the many,  

Not the few.  

The old stories fade

With every new mark.  

Each footstep a promise,  

Each name a dream  

Etched on ballots

That flutter like leaves  

In the summer breeze.  

In every home,  

A quiet hum.

Discussions at the table,  

Debates over tea.  

We weigh our future  

With bated breath,

Hoping for a better tomorrow,  

Casting away the shadow  

Of yesterday’s sorrows.  

All through the house,  

A gentle reminder:

Our duty,  

Our privilege,  

To shape the world.

To vote,  

To speak,  

To be heard.

I won't keep you long today, please vote it's polling day today for the UK! (And don't forget your photo ID)

Thanks, 

Aspen
