Human Rights
Every day, a new fight,
For the dignity of human rights.
People turning on each other,
Instead of standing strong together.
Prejudice against Black and Brown,
Judging skin while tearing down.
The suffering in Gaza—a tragic sight,
Reflecting the loss of humanity’s light.
The poor lie on roads to sleep,
Without enough food, their struggles are deep.
Villages parched with thirst and despair,
In lands where life’s barely fair.
While rulers and oppressors rest,
Hungry children cry, distressed.
Those in comfort, it’s time to see,
Everyone deserves rights, equally free.
