Counting What Counts
We. Count.
So many things—
with every click, tap and swipe
measuring our life in bits and bytes
awash in decimals, data and digits
to compute our existence
Yet who among us rises to be Counted?
We. Choose.
All the time—
our majors and minors and friends that we make
which jobs we apply to and classes we take
saving and working to spend one day
we study and learn to make our own way
Yet who among us Chooses our future?
We. Believe.
Every moment—
in achieving our goals by staying the course
that education is a powerful force
the path ahead must be bright
if we find the resilience to fight
Yet who among us stands for our Beliefs?
We. Defend.
Each other—
friends and family and those we love
the places we come from that we’re a part of
all who sacrificed to give us the choice
to pursue our dreams and lift our voice
Yet who among us Defends what we take for granted?
Out of many, One
Says the Motto
It’s up to us
To ensure it doesn’t ring hollow
One. You. One. Me. One. Us.
One. Vote.
at a time
We. Matter.
Count. On. It.
