It started with the index finger...

A dictator was killing innocent people
Crematoriums, mustard gases, guns
Those were his weapons
The dictator was, is, will forever be remembered as horrible...inhumane

Remember

They just wanted the right to vote
Citizens of the great AMERICA
But there was a dichotomy
In the law it stated everyone was equal
but there were caskets full of those who coveted the right to vote
While the ones that filled those caskets felt they were entitled to put them there
"Equality for all"

Remember

They looked at that dictator as if he was the devil in the flesh
But in reality they were one in the same
You see, when you straighten out your index finger
there are still four others facing you
