Choose To Make a Change

The brave is free.
Are we indeed?
Our right to power they try to impede.
An educated man is an unfit slave
His natural rights, will ye not deprave
Remove from my heart all anguish and rage
And the bonds of having been kept in a cage
Take not from us our power and dignity
A man is not a not a man without his liberty
Justice and equality
Social solidarity
Let’s put an end to all the pain and misery
What a calamity
Yet more an insanity
The oppressed and oppressor, both stripped of humanity.
So let’s stand in unity and call for an action.
Not just an obligation,
But individual satisfaction
So therefore we need, not all consult.
As freedom is a choice, and liberty the result
