Analysis of And So We Vote



And So We Vote ©
Gary Shulman, MS. Ed.
June 24, 2023

There’s truly nothing too profound
To turn this horrid mess around
And so we vote
And so we vote
Let’s leave this world a better place
For the progeny of the human race
And so we vote
And so we vote
Feeling sick and profoundly disgusted
Nothing left at all to be trusted
And so we vote
And so we vote
Yearning for a day when truth shall reign
No more agony and no more pain
And so we vote
And so we vote
The meaning here is simple and true
The power’s in me, the power’s in you!
And so we vote
And so…………………WE VOTE!
