Human Rights
Who are you to take my rights
and have me live each day in fright?
We are all born the same in God's delight
why must you be smug materially, while I have to daily fight?
Laws remain the same in day, night and twilight
why ignore them to make me and others uptight?
Human Rights shine for us just like a streetlight,
A tiny beacon of warmth that makes everything alright!
So please stop your onslaught like a snakebite,
The future is ours together, let us not miswrite.
Hand in hand we are one, a shipwright,
and to all the other children of the world, we invite...
To standup, embracing the light,
to do what is simply and forever right.
