Just a Word


May I have a second? May I have a word? I wish to speak of matters Some may not have heard. Can you hear the callings, The cries, and the wishes We want the freedom Not just a little Not just a part! Freedom to speak and be And live lives free Out away from the oppression That has been going on for so long! Everyone, speak loud! For all to hear and see! Looking have we been hurting Ever so silently Moths are as good as butterflies Some are even better It doesn't matter the colour of skin It matters the colour of heart. Many as fighting for hope and for light And some are fighting to stop the right Goodness will come if we never give in Keep following the light.
