I’m writing this the night before
A special day, the day the vote
Will happen on the Senate floor
Which will be of historic note
Perhaps, delayed yet one day more
But not beyond. This subject’s hot
What Democrats are fighting for
Republicans, they like it not
A vote to save our voting rights
Free, fair elections every state
Whose legislatures, with their might
Have rigged the outcomes for their slate
To pass these bills most readily
The filibuster need be changed
Permitting a majority
To be sufficient, simple, sane
What’s riding on tomorrow’s vote
The fate of our democracy
To slowly die or stay afloat
A test of its resiliency
