I vote

I decided to vote.

Because I want to have a say in who rules my hood.

Because I want to be a part of the decision making process.

Because I can go and caste a vote that I am not pleased with any of the candidates.

Because I can show them that I am not ignorant of what happens in my country.

Because I feel that taking a half day off to vote is worth exercising your right.

Because I am an optimist.

Because I believe that little drops make up the ocean.

Because the ink on my finger reminds me that I am a part if it.

I vote because I can.

Can you vote?
