Cost of Voting

by Ramita Paraswati

Vote
It is so noisy on your dancing stage
But it is only consumed in an unwanted peace cake
While waiting to change or cut your shake

When the sun starts to rise
Flirting me to fight
Do I wake up for vote light?
Or forsake it on my bed sight?

It seems so “white”
In the eyes of unidentified birth rate
For giving a vote rights
To those who suggest equal rights
