A Lesson For All Mankind
The years of discrimination
spread far and wide across this nation
with brooding eyes of the oppressed
with no one man to open or confess
that equality was a not a choice to be made
it was a right from the start and should have stayed
But then the tides, they did change,and people began to see
that was was done, was not meant to be
people of white and black and yellow and brown
stood up for the right that they knew now
To think back on those days so long ago
its easy to judge and ask, 'What did they know?'
but the power of change is not to be overlooked
it was a riot ,a stand, a victory in our books
because to stand up for your right and what is right
its a fight
this was a lesson for all of mankind
