Freedoms Voice

( 9/6/12) They had gathered in the square And a feeling of unrest was in the air A message of freedom resounded out loud you could hear the talk amongst the crowd. Their voices started off very softly And rose to a high pitched frequency And in their faces the anger you did see. The world is changing and so must we We must fight poverty and bigotry. Families are starving all around this world Just look at the faces of the boys and girls. There are children who are skin and bones And are left without a home. Mothers have no more milk in their breast And not a morsel of food for them to eat As they lay dying at their feet. When they do have food to cook They need clean water and a plate And a spoon , fork , and a knife So their fingers they would not bite. A netting for where they sleep To them is a treat. Insects flying all around And the children s crying is the only sound. People being condoned because of their Religious beliefs ,color, and sexual gender And it’s not getting any better. I live in a world of political corruption and hate But I always try to keep my faith and Hopefully one day they will open up their eyes And take away that disguise. This is the reason you hear FREEDOMS VOICE Through out the lands - because people just can’t Understand why our politicians turn their backs And refuse to pick up the slack. They say that these are third world nations Who have all these devastations But don’t they have rights just like we So lets try to help them stamp out poverty and bigotry. I know it’s nearly impossible to do what we say But one by one we can find the way. ONE BY ONE ! © L.RAMS
