I Stood in Line

November 4th 2008
United States Presidential Elections



I stood in line
To have my teeth examined
I stood in line
While my chains were locked
I stood in line
For a bowl of soup
I stood in line
With no poll tax
I stood in line
To board the bus
I stood in line
To face the water cannon
I stood in line
To speak, to be heard
I stood in line
To be listened to
This day,
I stood in line.
Proudly, stood in the line.
