Thankful

Many have forgot what happened Going day to day living like nothing ever happened Failing to remember what sacrifices where made So that we could use the same fountain as someone of different pigment However I am proud of my ancestors Who took physical and verbal abuse to stand up for what they believe in We many times forget what they have done for us Reaping from the benefits but forgetting to give thanks However I stand here saying thank you to the fallen soldiers Those that were not afraid to die for what they believed in They are true heroes And I am thankful for what they did So that we can live equally.
