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.
