Suffrage or Sufferance?
Into the stream we cast our vote
and know not where it goes.
We trust the current with our hopes
and then see where it flows.
If we know not what we throw
into our stream so clear,
we may pollute and damage more
the source we hold so dear.
We should be sure of everything
that goes into our stream;
otherwise we may create
a cesspool – “The American Dream”.
