A Call to Ballot by Sameer Gudhate
In the very heart of our democracy pulses a sacred trust—
Your vote, a vibrant echo of dreams, of unspoken hopes.
Amid the swirl of doubts, the heavy clouds of disillusionment,
find solace in the quiet sanctuary of the voting booth.
Let the whisper of your heart steer your hand.
Envision the tireless farmers beneath the sun,
the eager students bent over books,
the women forging paths through age-old barriers,
the children, eyes alight with untamed possibilities.
Your vote amplifies their voices,
a chorus calling for change, for progress, relentless and true.
Honor those who fought, those who bled,
for this right so freely given, yet dearly bought.
Stand united as we cast our ballots—
each mark a testament to our collective will.
Let us transcend the fractures that divide,
embracing the richness of our differences,
weaving a future, hand in hand, heart to heart.
Gratitude flows to you, dear voter,
for your steadfast dedication,
for nurturing the seeds of a brighter tomorrow.
With each stroke, each deliberate mark,
we paint our nation’s canvas,
infused with courage, compassion, and boundless hope.
Let us not just dream of a better world—
let us vote it into existence.
