It Matters Now (Day 655)

Picture this: 

A page is turning.

Are we safe?

Or are we burning?

Every voice,

raised up, decides

if our democracy

lives or dies.

Staying home,

from fear or sorrow,

dooms us 

to more today, tomorrow.

He and His have us

by the throat.

It matters now:

Please, vote!
Please, vote!
