I am a Vote
I am a vote-
I shatter your dreams,
Offer your opponent an ice- cream.
I am somebody’s tragedy
But, your opponent’s victory.
I am a vote-
I am much valued,
I am much sought after.
I pull down your legs
I can lift you on the wings.
I am a vote-
I throw you out.
By overnight you are uprooted
And completely get out of the scene.
I can induce migraine.
I am a vote-
I am a citizen’s right
I am your party’s might!
I am surely a weapon,
Democracy’s voice and opinion
I am a vote-
Man fights in my name.
Parties purchase, it is a game.
They give people countless promises,
Finally, what remains? voters and their dreams.
