Civil Rights Will Never Die


They say i wont go to college because of the color of my skin they say i will amount to nothing because of the pigment that Im in they call me dumb, stupid, lazy, good for nothing but i will them my civil rights will never die all men were created equal and women too and never will i let someone tell me otherwise. Ladies and Gentlemen little children too when you allow someone else to tell you you are less than perfect then your civil rights will die But when you remember that you are perfect and beautiful you will as maya angelou says "rise" to the peak of utmost perfection and your civil right will never die.
