His Right to Live

I am pale as the moon in a sky of darkness White against the shadows of the night His skin is dark like a moonless sky But his spirit is forever bright He hopes for freedom and safety From the demons within someone’s heart A right that should be automatically given A right that should be his from the start Discrimination and judgment Can tear our nation to shreds But we can as a country Create harmony by using our heads We can put an end to the racial slurs And conquer the devils within We can protect ALL of our Civil Rights We can accept and love EVERYONE, despite their skin
