Moments taught me how to float
The past
wrought against the tides
But our feet no longer walk upon
the waters we survive
Moments taught me how to vote
The past was
meant to be my guide
But when breath's as bad as drowning,
it makes it hard to stay alive
Ballots rob me of my hope
The past
is all that I abide
I think the past and I would drown
if we knew we'd not revive
The moments tell me I should vote
The past
ashamed in water hides
When breath's as bad as drowning,
it makes it hard to stay alive
