1950’S – 1960’S are years I and many others will never forget It all adds up to regret upon regret It was a time of discrimination and separation Of course, there was a lot of speculation It was a battle for “FREEDOM” Afro-American’s faced much turmoil because they had wisdom Skin color was a curse during the Civil Rights Movement But that still holds true today to some degree Struggle’s in where Afro-American’s can go But continue to follow me in the flow Afro-American’s had to take a back seat on the bus Opposition upon opposition in what was all the fuss Dr. Martin Luther King knew he must take his stance This had to be our chance if all races are to advance No longer could Afro-American’s be a race that shouldn’t be knew The opposition felt Afro-American’s was making Civil Rights too full blown
But somebody had to let it be known Various Leaders and Afro-American’s in particular let their voices be known like a Church Bell on Sunday Morning Each day, there was a sunrise being the continuat8ion of Racial Equality But the ordeal was a Wake Up call full of reality As high as the sun could shine, possibilities was going to be a change Discrimination could no longer remain
Through Dr. Martin Luther King’s efforts, change started to come Life seemed to get better But remember I said “SEEMED” Let’s fast forward to 2017 to present There is still a Civil Rights Resentment among the Opposition Peers But Afro-American’s are staying focused and that’s how they preserver Yet, Civil Rights seemed to have been reversed Its let being on stage and forgetting the lines from rehearse In this instance, it was what learned from the past, but a short moment that didn’t last
Time revolting back Now what do you think of that? Discrimination has returned like a sharp sword Wounds seemed to heal, but the wounds are open again Recovery unknown
Opposition at Afro-American’s once more Through the commotion, no one can ignore We have a President of the United States that has turned up the volume in separating all Races It doesn’t matter of creed It’s the powers in how they want you to proceed It’s the opposition mirror having I don’t like your skin color look Now this wasn’t a picture took For Years, Afro-American’s had to live in being frightened in shook But will there ever be a true Civil Rights change? Only time will tell But for now, all I can say is oh well.
