An Equal Illusion

Wed, 07/23/2014 - 09:47 -- kmb2028

In America they say we are equal

That is an illusion

And our government works for the good of the people

So here's the conclusion

 

The Time Is Coming For Us To Take A Stand

 

Don't you hear their cry?

Mothers crying, children dying for nothing

They will be my martyrs

Children marching, crying out for justice

They will be my voices

 

Our Struggle Is Rich, We Are Here We Won't Take Anymore

 

Don't you hear them?

Hear their voice?

Call for justice?

Make a choice!

 

Hear the voices?

Medgar Evers

Malcolm X

James Chaney

Carol Robertson

Troy Davis

Oscar Grant

Herbert Lee

Darion Albert

James Bryd

Emmett Till

Lemuel Penn

Martin Luther King

TRAYVON MARTIN
