Your Vote Counts

by Allan CF Goh

Like the tiny drops of water,
When split, remains a puny thing;
But when all gathered together,
Become the mighty ocean king.
Like the ocean of tiny drops;
Pushed hard, it forms a tsunami.
We, too, can create the same impact,
When united with all you, him, me.

In this impending election,
Your ‘lonely vote’ really matters;
Together with like-minded folks,
And combined with other charters,
Can, too, bring forth a tsunami.
All our ‘insignificant’ votes,
When massed, unified and counted,
Can ensure a victory of note.

Change for a better tomorrow.
Stand up to vile exploitations.
Reject those without moral spine.
Realize our just expectations.
Convince your family and friends,
And those who righteousness support,
Do your citizen’s great duty.
On voting day, show your rapport.

We have the political strength,
With a unified you, him, me,
To make Malaysia very right,
To create another tsunami,
So as to sweep out the corrupt,
Wash out the discriminations,
Ensure racism does not erupt,
For a beautiful Malaysia!
