Sevenling (Suffrage)

I stand in the long queue of ladies

Curtained Electronic Voting Machines wait too

While posse of sweating police silently guards.

 

I am to choose a lesser evil

And the EVMs will collect abstract dreams

The cheeky old sun winks at the police.

 

Political anti-heroes shake on the edge of denouement

with abated breath.
