Who Has the Right
Who in this world has the right to label a man’s worth?
And how does one determine who is better or worse?
Who is anyone to deem law what they see true?
Such a law could mean the end of me or even you?
For those who cried “separate but equal,”
Were you feeble fools or simply deceitful?
Deceiving all including yourself,
A trait found in the devil himself.
But where else could such a lie begin,
That a man’s worth should be determined by his skin?
Thank God for one man’s dream and fight.
For this is what brought victory to the battle for civil right.
