FREEDOM TRAIL
Civil Rights fight is where the need for freedom began
An end
Society says Race once again
Thrown in the face
The upward battle
No settle
The Blockade
No sitting in darkness under a shade
No hidden words
Having a mind to excel
The need to prove
Inspired and determined to move
Don’t need permission
Created from above
Freedom to think of
Society doesn’t want races to interrelate
There is a purpose to associate
The look of hate
No appreciate
Forefathers fought then and legacy continues in protest
Rebel ringing through the air
Society doesn’t care nor are fair
By any means necessary
Shout and speak making awareness as an outcry
No stand by
Freedom is a must to try
Look hatred in the eye
I am the who and not the why
Can’t be silent because I shouldn’t
Determined with desired words
The need to be heard
Look at me and see
My own means necessary
The theory with a story
Freedom will be my glory.
