There are clocks turning backwards
there are rights being lost,
you might think you're unaffected
but things are worse than you thought.
For your wives and your daughters
are now property of the state;
they'll be tracking their cycles
and they better not be late.
For your women are now watched
by the militarized state;
The old laws have been eradicated,
cause it's freedom
the republican fundamentalists hate,
and like the Taliban, your freedoms they're taking.
You better vote soon, before it's too late,
cause your rights are disintegrating.
Come fathers and husbands,
throughout the land,
let's give them an electoral beating,
that they'll understand,
your vote is your voice,
so please take a stand.
If the freedom of privacy's worth saving,
you better vote soon, before it's too late,
cause your rights they're eliminating.

I would like to translate this poem
'your vote is your voice, so please take a stand' - an urgent call. We too are being denied of our voting rights in our land for the last fifteen years. Yet people are acquiscent, so nothing is happening.
