I CAN'T NOT VOTE LABOUR

 I CAN’T NOT VOTE LABOUR

I can’t not vote Labour

Even when I think about

Not voting Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

Even when they’re shooting

Themselves in the foot

I can’t not vote Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

Even when they seem to be

Determined to explode

I can’t not vote Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

Even when they’re inevitably

Doomed to disagree

I can’t not vote Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

When I think of the smuggery

Of the alternatives

I can’t not vote Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

Especially when it would be

A crime against my history

I can’t not vote Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

Even when I’m standing

Pencil poised in booth

I can’t not vote Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

It’s deep in the heart of me

Fundamental liberty

I can’t not vote Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

If occasionally I may consider

Not voting Labour

I can’t not vote Labour

MAWH, March 2017
