The Minority War
So many have come before us
So many have fought the battle
That we are fighting now
African Americans
Fought to prove that they are equal
That the color of skin does not matter
You are equal to the white man next to you
Women
Fought to prove that they are equal
That gender does not matter
You are equal to the man next to you
Homosexuals
Still fighting to prove that they are equal
That the person you love does not matter
You are equal to all the men and women around you
Minorities will always fight this battle
We are the Land of the Free
But we reject change
African Americans fought for years
Before the hate crimes finally stopped
Women are still fighting on many fronts
For equality to men
Homosexuals have just started the fight
How long will the battle last?
Will the war ever end?
