One Person One Vote

For many Years the country was under a foreign rule

Free now, the young-old country was discovering itself

“One person, one vote

Can I bring a positive change,” pondered few

Some countrymen were enthusiastic

Most were skeptic

“The winners will tax

And accumulate with our money,” they said

Governments came and went

Still, the views of some never changed

Times changed

Eclipses became more than a superstition

Awareness improved, live telecasts reigned

The Aware educated the others

A new crop, less skeptical

More confident and positive emerged

“Democracy it is and we will participate,” they said

We will be the change we want to be

Then, the world gaped overwhelmed

At the biggest democratic exercise in history.
