Time for Equality

(poems go here) They did the work we didn’t want to do We could not be in the same room It was illegal for them to have a say If they even tried it was almost like they were thrown away This went on for 400 years Until they decided to face their fears All across the country blacks and whites tried to save the race People had to stop judging blacks based on their face Segregation was to be no more All that wanted it gone were thrown to the floor They just tried and tried and tried So black people no longer had to be fried The hate had to stop It was their turn to do more than just mop After years and years of fighting They were all given the right to learn to start writing Thanks to that blacks and whites can be friends Thank you America for making amends
