A Time For Others But Not Me


I run and hide from people, people that I can't change. I need somebody else who can lead. Who can lead this fight for equality? I heard in D.C there is rebel. There is a rebel who can change the world? His name I do not know. I do not know but I feel. I am a person in a world. A world of many like me. One day our people will be treated well. Well enough to have equality and brotherhood! Today's sacrifice is for tomorrow, tomorrow will be a better day!
