Mar 7
It was that ****** Sunday, March 7, 1965
The fight and struggle
The revolution with Hate and Love
The multitudes to convey the Civil Rights message
The shall in overcome
Marching for Miles
It was during the period of Dr. Martin Luther King style
Former Representative John Lewis and many other legacies that support the mission were involved
Chanting in song while
Determination steady and strong
Race shouldn’t be a factor, but character being an honor
The people of Selma knew they were created to be among society
No mistake, Heaven’s purpose
It was about coming together as a Nation
Opposition negativity thought otherwise
Hate was the voices of the opposed and Civil Rights Activist chose Love

Hate doesn’t understand
Love sustains value
The people of Selma understood that guided by God’s Wisdom
The voice of the Kingdom
Multitude voices refused to surrender in negative thoughts and evil ways
The theory was “Together We Shall All Stand”
Change was going to come
Selma did win, and love and embrace became victory
Yet we are not back to the story of another
It is 2025, and opposition is trying hard to go backgrounds while we the people thought we were going forward
Backwards to where all struggles began with more racial disturbances start up
The fight is on again being more determined than ever before being the need to “UNITE and OPPOSE”


Can’t be still
There’s still Civil Rights to continue to fulfill
While we have breath in our bodies at will
There cannot be a pause nor silence
Civil rights, Liberty and Freedom
Shouts of dignity our cause
We will win again until we all rise together as one.
