The Voter

Dawn

Freezing cold

A yawn and off the bed

First in line

Its 4 a.m Tuesday

He had waited for this moment

Mirthfully

He chatted with his friends - rubbing his hands

A bit of warmth needed

Rukia was up as well - she sold hot tangawizi and coffee

As they waited for the centre to be opened - at 8:00 a.m

The coffee made him awake till then

Throngs of people began to gather at the registration centre

But he was first in line

Ecstasy - As he got in and filled the forms

Biometric Voter Registered - Lolz

A voter ID was in his hand

Change was in his hand
