Four Words Forward

Work

                  Hope

                                    Love

                                                      Vote

If we could eradicate apathy

Dramatically

We could take back democracy

Emphatically

We could play a part in starting

To reduce tragedies

To vote is more than hope

It is strategy

Love could decrease the numbers of people

Left behind or hurt

It is not done magically

But by us doing the work

Four words of note to quote

Work

                  Hope

                                    Love

                                                      Vote
