To the editor:
Let them not say we didn’t care.
We love our freedom;
We love our children;
We love our neighbor;
We love our town, our city, our state;
We love our county
Our country, that birther of dreams, built on a dream
Our country, powered by hope and yesterday and tomorrow
Our country, sustained by acts of all who came before.
Let them not say we didn’t care.
Let them not say we didn’t care enough.
Let them not say we didn’t care enough TO VOTE.
(Note: Poem concept patterned after Jane Hirshfield’s “Let them not say”)
