Civil rights poem (freestyle)
Civil Rights poem
By Wilson Ndegwa
1. Sometimes I sit and wonder
2. How civil rights have changed
3. From race to age to gender
4. And rights that have no sense
5. But that makes us people you see
6. Even if you don’t like them
7. And wish they have a right
8. That you like but won’t change
9. Don’t worry about it
10. For civil rights are important
11. And sometimes they are not
12. What a right I want
13. I don’t know
14. But I remember a time when we didn’t have to worry about or race
15. You know I’m talking about Donald Trump
16. But let’s move on
17. To my opinion on some civil rights
18. That way I have more to write about
19. Some rights I can live with like African American rights of 1968
20. But some rights a lot of people aren’t 100% happy about.
21. Like gay rights. I fine with it because it’s none of my business
22. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t bother me, It really does
23. There are rights we all care about
24. Like the civil rights act of 1957
25. Which gave us all rights to vote
26. US citizens only actually
27. And the civil rights act of 1964
28. Which outlawed discrimination against race
29. So that’s my poem
30. Which ends in this line
