"Not another one. There's too much politics going on"

Elections and referendum seem to be the order of the day.
No one could say politics is dull or boring at the moment.
That all sides are the same and votes don't matter.
Is there to many chances to have your say?
Appears some think so.

Yet to have our say was a fight hard won.
It was not handed to us on a plate.
Our long gone mothers, sisters, aunts and all.
Marched for us to have a voice and vote.
Some died for us to have a voice and vote.

You have the privilege in our free country.
If you wish to keep your voice silent that is also your right.
No one forces you to take an interest in politics,
 or what is happening in the world around you.
No one will force you to the polling booth.

Others marched for that right on your behalf,
 but it's your choice to use or refuse it.
In other places still that march for a voice goes on.
In 2017 many still don't have that right, it is not yet universal.
"Too much politics"? Many elsewhere would like the choice you deride.

82 Seconds

82 Seconds that's all you took
82 Seconds to cause devastation and lose.
To take away love, hopes and dreams of those just in your way.
...and what of you? did you hope of some glory?
Why, who or what for?
A cause or God?
I'd say you were a worm but that would be unfair to worms.
They slither on the ground but they have a soul with in every ripple of their bodies.
You're far below them, you have no soul, just the streak of a coward.
A coward mowing down people who had no chance to fight back.
What God would even recognize such a soulless creature as you.
London has faced the warped wrath of hate many times before.
Did you really think your 82 seconds of warped ideology
would bring her to her knees?
London gets hurt but she always gets back up and stands proud.
While you? You were just a speck of dirt on humanity.
