I Have the Right

I am a child like you I have a dream like you I have a heart like you I am mankind like you. I have the right to live like you. I have the right to freedom like you. I want to play like you I want to smile like you I need to sleep like you I need a morning like you. I have the right to live like you. I have the right to freedom like you. Why is my path bloody? Why do you blast my body? Why does dark smoke swarm my sky? Why do you grab my land, why? I have the right to live like you. I have the right to freedom like you. You have no right to kill my dreams You have no right to kill my parents You have no right to kill my friends You’re all killers; you're all heartless! I have the right to live like you. I have the right to freedom like you. I want only justice I want a smiley face I want a peaceful place I just want a little peace! I have the right to live like you. I have the right to freedom like you.

Very strong message! Well written and thought provoking!! I like the reoccurring last two lines, rams home the theme of the poem. Great work!!
