Ones who lead to freedom

Ones who lead to freedom

Families trapped in the darkness of their child's eyes
Every second they see someone's sorrow and hope they'll rise

The stronger a person is, the more powerful we are together
We will all be strong and want freedom to last forever

People like you should be willing to change the world through us personally
Without freedom people wouldn't be treated equally

The ones who lead to freedom are the ones that stand before me
The people around me are all a step into today's time to be free

Freedom is resisting over the power and control of others
Freedom is a chance to speak out
Freedom is love
Freedom is the equality between us

I felt this topic was important because the people back then were not as lucky as we are now. So sometimes i wonder how my life and world would be like if we were living like the way they were before with poverty and sadness inside of them.

I really like this poem it seems like the writer really expressed how she really felt while righting this poem. Very well done it makes people think more about the ones who really are going through that
