My Disobedient Feet!

Today

My feet were disobedient

They must have done what i did not ask them to

I meant to use my hands

At the polling station

To vote in somebody

But they must have done, what i did not ask them to

I can feel it

They kicked out the old president

Really i didn't ask them to

Because i only meant to use my hands

But it's okay if they did.
