Notes for November 8, 2022

Abstract

This poem was a response to the shootings in Uvalde and Beto O'Rourke's Tweet that "We won't forget". I haven't forgotten other lives that have been lost due to mass shootings and other problems in our state that have cost innocent lives, but sometimes the motivation to vote does fade on Election Day when I'm busy or have trouble getting to a polling place. This poem is a reminder that I must keep voting in every election, no matter what.
