Perhaps tomorrow
I had no idea
How both my parents voted
When I was little
Nor am I aware
As they never discussed it
That they did either
But my wife and I
Knew full well how we would vote
We respected that
Never did we miss
Any election on offer
Why give up that right?
I'm still not happy
For it is one thing to vote
But what's the return?
Our elected member
Should represent all of us
Not gain privilege
Siding with business
And those big corporations
To feather his nest
Thinking they've fooled us
Promising much but failing
To represent me
A wonderful thing
Is universal suffrage
We suffer a lot
With our only hope
That a great leader will come
...perhaps tomorrow
