Commission, commotion
Surrounded by people and noise
I stepped into a world unlike my own.
Taking matters into my hands
I called together my team
and when the counter called my turn,
I nudged my way through
to get our equipment.
And there started the journey
through a nightmare
of ups and downs,
of paperwork
and wax sealing,
of setting up a booth
and a sleepless night,
of endless voters
and tying up loose ends,
of a night of rains
and working without electricity,
as we worked our way back
to the collection point
to stand in queues and crowds
so that we could know
we hadn’t go form A written
‘n’ number of times.
The magnanimity of it struck
when it was finally sealed and done.
The voting was over!
