Freedom and Justice, My Spirit

Freedom, equality and brotherhood
In the french revolution had happen should
But simply led to build a guillotine.
Not even Robespierre his head save could.

Newborn people of world has a bloodline
Which marks her/him to be ugly or fine
No equality or brotherhood are acting now
No real freedom or Justice can destine.

It’s time to change and reach a splendid glow
The hateful racism outlaw to throw
We are all equal, free and fraternal too
It’s time for mankind a spiritual grow.

(This is for "My spirit" contest: verses are the same of a previous poem of mine adapted to the contest, because this is my spirit)
