We often complain that our voices go unheard. But when given the chance to make a change in this world, We are not stepping up to the plate. See, I have a theory. Its that people that look like you and me have ben told for so long that "we can't" or "we won't" so We Don't. Quick to pickett and throw up a fist when injustice is in our midst, but what we don't get is the greatest injustice is the one we are causing upon ourselves. We wanna "let freedom ring" But we're sitting on our rights. Like a slap in the face to those who had to fight. The suffering, pain, hot days, and long nights. Don't let it be in vain. We are no longer bound by inequality We have the abilitiy to rid ourselves of this plague Called Ignorance. You say they don't care The government's unfair. Well tell me something I don't know. But those who don't vote are the reason our justice is a no show. So let's not be afraid of change! You gotta put some work with that faith if you wanna see results. It won't cost a thing, its as simple as a Vote.
