Civil rights has been a fight all through time
Always different people always different things
The 1950’s & ‘60’s was a fight for African Americans
They were beaten they were hated they weren’t considered human
People didn’t want them in their houses, in their businesses around their families
People thought they were dirty
Thought they were contagious freaks of nature
But people stod up and fought
They stood for whats right
MLK and Rosa Parks led the way to a new life for all
They didn’t back down till there was freedom
Once they were free
They ended their fight
Everything was alright
But that never lasts
The world has always been full of discrimination & hate
People beaten and shoved down to the ground
Hated & tormented
Abused harassed Tortured teased DESTROYED
They become terrified to live
They are hurt and pained and pushed to the point that they wish they were dead
Now it has become the fight for gay rights
Started a long time ago and has grown to take over our every thought
Now they are fighting the Supreme Court with worldwide support for the rights to marry
When they win this fight The world will cheer
But the fight isn’t over
It wont be done until
Everyone is equal
Everyone has the same rights
Nobody left out
Nobody isolated
Nobody having to fight just to feel the right to live
But that will NEVER happen
NEVER in the future will EVERYBODY be free
NEVER in the future will everybody stop fighting for whats right
NEVER will the world finally see peace
Its not in our nature
As soon as this fight is over A new one will start
Whether it be abortion or bullying or something totally new
It will be a new fight for the world and it will build
& build
& build
till it explodes and causes
riots
& new laws
& friendships & families torn
It will do the same thing that Gay Rights has done
The exact same thing that the Civil Rights movement did
& that’s what started this all
The civil rights movement inspired these movements
The civil rights movement worked and it showed the world that when something is right
You CAN fight
People WILL fight
People MUST fight for what is right
& you can win
You can change how the world works
You can make the world a better place
Look at the civil rights movement so many years ago
It made history & changed the world
