Freedom In America


America is supposed to be a place of freedom for all people But the homosexuals aren't allowed to get married in some places And even still they don't get the rights they deserve Women aren't treated equally in the workplace Men are paid more than women are Today there is still prejudice in the world Why can't America get it together? They promise freedom and equality I mean it's what this country is founded on right But when you get here you realize it's only for certain races and people Am I wrong to want peace and freedom for all people? I hope someday we will ALL have freedom for real FREEDOM IN AMERICA is what I want and you should too! It's time for us to practice what we keep telling the world America needs a change and we can make it happen It's a new day and it's time for a new America So who is with me in this fight for freedom and equality We have gone to long without it but that can all change today
