Faith In The Vote...

The terrain is tough, 
There's never enough,
Of food, water, jobs,
Of anything, but sobs;
Then the armed strife,
Guerrillas, soldiers rife,
Bombs, mines, trip wires,
The endless crossfires...

There are no roads,
Not even to nowhere,
Yours are your loads,
None seems to care,
Yet nothing shakes,
Your faith in your vote,
Despite all it takes,
A long trek, 
            a rickety boat....

What you do know,
Deign to share with us,
So that we may go,
Vote, not merely cuss.
