Just Before 'X'

Voting: 

a privilege, 

a right, 

a responsibility…

and yet

political trust and political will
is a balance that shifts and sways
opinions left, right and center
asking to be believed, to be trusted….
debating the merits of their beliefs
while detailing their opponents’ poverty of realism

who is the best citizen incumbent for the job?
how is one to know?
and when?

Just before ‘x’ marks the box?

“Do the unexpected. Take 20 minutes out of your day, 

do what young people all over the world are dying to do: vote.”

~ Rick Mercer
