November 4th 2008 <br />United States Presidential Elections <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I stood in line <br />To have my teeth examined <br />I stood in line <br />While my chains were locked <br />I stood in line <br />For a bowl of soup <br />I stood in line <br />With no poll tax <br />I stood in line <br />To board the bus <br />I stood in line <br />To face the water cannon <br />I stood in line <br />To speak, to be heard <br />I stood in line <br />To be listened to <br />This day <br />I stood in line <br />Proudly stood in the line <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Martin Swords <br />Nov.2008<br /><br />Martin Swords<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-stood-in-line/
