Words spoken long ago Yet are reiterated to this day words proclaimed long ago yet still are being enacted today we pray for equality white or colored skin we fight for liberty with equality we will win Emancipation Proclamation Civil Rights of 1964 Womens Suffrage at the turn of the century And so much more. We are Americans. Born with natural unalienable rights life liberty pursuit of happiness Yet to pursue happiness we have to still fight for equality Yet for liberty we still have to grant people the respect as citizens Yet for life, people still take it away Specifically our 16th Dearest President A man who we all know well He wore a tall top black hat and lived through our country's Hell He fought for a purpose larger than life A purpose larger than he a purpose of freedom for those who had been shunned to slavery A colorblind constitution a colorblind population kept these poor people stuck in desolation Abraham Lincoln knew his place how he knew it well freedom was the only option the only escape from this Hell A war was fought bloodiest this country has had wounds gnashed in bodies many children lost a dad Yankee and Confederates black and whites alike fought side by side fighting for their "right" And so it goes as the story isn't done war hadn't killed the country work was to be done For a lost 100 years the country had ignored the slaves outcry of freedom they were segretated and stored Stored as maids, stored as second class But now today They are the the fuel of this nation they are not left astray Equality is a proclamation Equality should be granted Equality should be guaranteed Equality.
