Freedom Should Not Be About Race

All of us should know by now that there’s one race: The Human Race. Narcissism and nepotism Are destroying the very febrile fibers of our society Greed and narrow-mindedness, at an increasing space Are eroding our soil like mites devouring the mechanism Of our ingenuity. This is odious. What a sad and sorry pity! Freedom is about being at liberty to do things on our own Freedom is about being in control of our destiny Freedom is about using our God-given talent to be And to do whatever inspires us at dust, at dawn Or at any time to make the world a better place for all Freedom is about exposing the lies and walking tall While telling the truth in the best interests of the planet Freedom is about saying it like it is, on the internet In the newspapers, on the radio and to all the media The nocuous system comes now and then with the craziest formula: This one is lighter than you; that one is darker than you This one is thinner than you; that one is bigger than you This one is dumber than you; that one is smarter than you This one is shorter than you; that one is taller than you After meticulously reading the final analysis, you and I are the same We all belong to the same Human Race, we need to be tame In order to comply with the principles established by the Almighty Otherwise, we become mentally dumb, vainglorious and really cocky Freedom is about breaking the inessential chains in our brain Freedom is about unclogging the flexible pipes of the dam Freedom is about going straight to the sources Freedom is about utilizing our best resources All of us should know already that there is one race: The Human Race. And for all, there’s plenty of space Freedom is about improving things for a better and safer society Freedom is about creating better filters to help the environment Freedom is about respecting the fibers and the colors of humanity Freedom is about enjoying the neoteric air under the firmament.
