Declaration of Oppression


I hold these truths to be self evident, though many people cannot see we were all created equal from sea to shining sea I have been endowed and cannot be denied my certain, god given, inalienable rights. There's no way to take away from me my happiness, my life, and my liberty That's the purpose of my government, and why it was created to make sure no one's rights are understated. My right to live, my right to love who told you it was time to play God? Now is the time for new hearts and open minds Now is the time to stand against these heinous crimes Our civil rights have to be protected! And not for just the luckily selected for every face and every heart beat all offenders better just take a seat step back and realize this revolution that's a comin' call the buggle and get a drummin This is my time for the freedoms of all, no matter how big, no matter how small race, gender, sex and expression listen closely to the wrongs of oppression
