Freedom Freedom where are you I need Freedom too

People fighting for what's right 
Being treated unfair just because of their skin tone 
Crying tears of bullets because they just wanted to be united as one
Gun shots you hear of incident lives being killed because they're black 
Running for your lives from the ones who think your pointless and should die or go back to Africa where all the black should stay 
Left and right rumors were told about people of color 
Such as all blacks are gang members 
Don't trust people of color their dangers 
But have you ever thought about the time you sent people in white to kill others 
Burn down church's full of people 
Break into homes and point a gun to their head and... 
The last words you hear is "no please don't" or "I have a family please spare them"
Nobody really cared back then 
The only thing that mattered was if you were black you're not allowed


The author's comments:

I wrote this because we were doing an assignment in class and I thought about this. I remember learning and watching videos about what happened with sergation started and ended so I thought why not write about it. I hope peole learn or get from this that what happened back then was terrible, and nobody deserved to go through it. We are all one doesn't matter by your skin tone that doesn't define who you really are inside. Whether your black,white, tan, purple, or even green we all have a skin tone and we all have to embrace it don't look at someone different by their skin tone. We are all beautiful no matter what we look like or our skin tone God made each and everyone of us different.
