I remember the girl that no one liked
Because she smelled strange
And her clothes were always old and torn
And she was quiet and reserved
Later that year she moved away and when we asked why
We live in a world of segregation
Where everywhere you go its racist places
I’m not just talking about your skin or complexion
Also what you believe in
Martin fought for equality
But people don’t comprehend
Since the founding of this country, we talk about equality
But really it’s hard for me to see it
There’s still racism, sexism, fights against sexuality
So where’s all that spoken of equality?
America is known as the land of the “free”
But are you truly free if you can’t even be
Who you are, with who you want?
“Free,” they say? That word is just a taunt.
