Take A Stand


Civil Rights is the movement for all of us to be free All the races together is what we want to see, No disrespect, but justice all the time, No more segregation, it is such an inhumane crime Segregation is wrong, despicable at most All I see is pain and disrespect given from coast to coast People murder and hate because of one’s skin They slaughter and kill, an ultimate sin Now and again the racist man gets caught But usually he gets away, like what happened to Dred Scott We are all equal and that is why we must fight We need to stop segregation even if we have to work through our nights We need to stop the death, the disrespect, or this world will fall Racism needs to be stopped, once and for all So I reach out to you, my fellow man Isn’t it time you take a stand?
