Black or white
All different in sight
Despite our looks
We all should have rights

A generation long ago
fought for freedom
For others to read and know
Laws now said, "you may go."

Hatred persisted
Life consisted
Of abuse and division
and new immigration

Asians build east
Irish slave west
Women Suffrage
Segregation

A world conflict
Treated as second class
Still fighting for country
But revolution stirred At las'

Peaceful dissent
Depicted as chaos
Yet, Civil rights
Climb to Forefront

MLK had a dream
JFK broadcast a scheme
Now, Come together
By Law or by Choice

Years of struggling
The hating still going
Another group
Another battle

Gay, Muslim, Atheist
Each a slog-battle for
Acceptance from priests
From their ancient lore

A '60s movement
Jump-starts it all
Through changing government
One day bigotry will fall
