Journey of civil rights


It is hard to believe how far we've come this journey is hard and long but still undone through pain and sacrifice rights will be won but only to those who fight for the equal right of one its hard to to think that slaves still exist long lost names only numbers on ancient lists people chained together unhappily by their wrists hoping to to escape and ready to fight with their fists Although slavery is no more these people wait for their rights while begging on the floor When begging gets them no where they protest at the core preaching to the people who also mourn Finally the get their rights but only through painful fights they get their chance to shine in lights soaring higher and higher than any other kites. Although they possess a different look they deserve civil rights according to my book.
