Born into this world free,
at our starts,
we've been made equal,
as we grow like a flower from a seed,
our nature leads us to break away,
at the beauty that it holds so dearly,
and once we are free'd,
we have also handed over our self control,
as we start to journey into the unknown.
we join into our society,
create our communities,
as we are made one with the residents of our territories,
tallying up our ballots
to determine the majority,
and voice our opinions as one,
but what becomes of the controversy?
the Runner up to the majority?
and who has the right to cast the ballot?
only men,
only those of white skin,
only those of a prosperous breed.
Those whom are never controlled,
but wish to take the repelled as there property,
as the pursue of others seem to end in only their benefits,
imported men bound to nonnative men,
by those whom forgotten their own native skins,
Forgotten they also traveled across the sea,
and back as they force imported men over sea,
as shiploads roll in,
with the contents of labor bearing men,
The Fixed majority binds those of minority,
Women, Children and Imported men,
to their fateful aftermath,
Eventually as we grow,
The Majority begin to release their control.
The minority stands up to the ******* they with held.
They fight for their rights,
and they last for their life,
The nightmare more pleasant to handle.
They don't hold back their pressing manners,
They don't fall two steps back to only move forward one.
They don't back down to those out to damage them.
The compromise is far from completion.
as the lack of freedoms still create more conflicts,
thus having to re-compromise again,
Those bound to religion and other establishments,
creates the fear of change for men,
the resistance leads to hate,
Hate towards people who must judge on face value,
rather than seeing a person past their appearance.
to the point of formation of organizations to patronize these people more.
those who suffer from these acts,
are still stuck inside the past,
they can't be happy for something they barely have.
They suffer silently,
hopping their dreams will one day come true,
to be equal without the needs for laws to make you to,
To feel actual equality
without the labels they have been given from society,
to feel their birth given rights in effect.
Some who suffer say it's worthless to keep trying,
even though their moment ended with people dying,
The cause is worth the fulfillment of those who suffered back then,
And back then the rolls were set in stone,
where women couldn't hold their own,
but now we face men and women trying to change.
The rolls will stay the same,
and they will flip flop and duplicate,
where everyone gets a ballot to voice their say,
Where dreams that reach from sea to shining sea,
will one day be able to breathe and shine through,
But dreams don't shine through,
not all are free from their marginalization.
not all are free to make their accusations,
not all people are born into the rights of freedoms.
Our nation has defaulted and defamed their citizens,
unless inside an arms race, then we are free to die next to each other,
before attending a meal together,
our nation is built by those who ran away from oppression,
those whom tried to grant their families a new beginning,
those whom have now moved away from their old traditions,
we are trying to make room for the change,
we are trying to make room for our voices,
we have been trying to make room for our dreams,
but somewhere along they way,
our dreams have started to fade away,
as our pride as an american is declining at the fastest rate,
their are too many dreams trying to take place,
when we change this and change that,
we forget to change ourselves,
we forget our morals and views,
we have forgotten the golden rule,
we need to treat others like we would treat ourselves,
roll of child, women, man, aside,
difference of Skin, Hair, or even Eyes,
difference of heritage gender and age too,
what I do to you,
should be taken with meaning,
and If I can't respect you.
should you respect me?
The core of our problems have a trace,
attitude is desire for the outcome.
America is never going to stay the same,
day by day America and its people constantly change,
And there's no escape.
