The Life

Sometimes I wonder about the life The lives that gave me equal rights Leaders who have paved the way Who have made it possible for me today Things I take for granted now Still wondering about the how Because I was blessed to never have had to live it Thinking of all of the provisions they have given And made for me; Now we have risen Underdogs who have come out victorious Through peaceful protests It must have been so much more to digest Back then when they had to fight To make what has now changed my life Into something no one could have foreseen A black man now ruling the country A huge step from where we were Seeing now after being blind We can now live the life.
