The Rights of The Civil
The power of a voice
To those given a choice
Can be a compelling thing-
For the simple notion
Of a voice in public
Can say "Let freedom ring!"-
For once every so often in society,
There is a person that sparks.
A revolution so legendary,
Like the woman Rosa Parks-
For the rights of the civil cannot simply,
be determined by race.
The rights of the civil are merely a building block,
in which is formed at the base.
For the speeches, preaches, and riots
That were enacted many years ago
Are required for our improving world
To be as it is so.
