civil or equal rights.


Chloe rose branch         Civil rights              4/8/16

 

The world as                                                                                       

We know it

It’s so beautiful

For a world

So musical

 

NO we go back into

What some people

Would call hell

*bell* were back

Almost 6000

 

African Americans

Boys and girls

Sprayed

By water hoses beat into

Their souls back then

The was never

 

Foul back then

It was right

THEN it was just fine

But today humanity

Is not quite bright

Specifying our selfs

With black

Or just whites

Civil is not so

 

Right as today in the parallel

Universe civil is an evil word for

We shall just use equal

For civil is beneath

 

As we carry on our lifes  as we forget about

The past for we reminisce on

The past for the future

Equal rights is to not

Be abused

 

But for it shall be used and remembered

For those lives

That have passed

 

So we can pass

By the time that

Has been spent

For we shall use equal rights correctly
