An act for freedom.


Civil Rights, a hope to be free when all around, is segregation we see Disrespect, no justice all the time Segregation is such a worldly crime Isolation towards groups of people at most Pain and disrespect from coast to coast Murdering just because of the colour of skin Killing and killing the ultimate sin. All people are equal, the King once said but now the so called equals have fled if all of us are equal then why do we battle beating and disrespect every day and night They don`t deserve what have they done we fight them and think we have won let`s stop the death, the disrespect, every last bit of it. for if we don`t this world surely will crumble and fall from it.
