Rising to the Occasion
  I have a dream
  a dream I’ll tell
  our future gleams
  from the pits of hell
  I wrote a speech
  about said dream
  Our time is ripe
  like the ripest peach
  no more treading on the beam
  They thrived on perfection
  to them we were a leech
  all because of our complexion
  therein lies my speech
  We have a noble cause
  invested with noble intention
  to do away with troubled laws
  using divine intervention
  With the rising at it’s prime
  prying free from the lack of Freedom’s jaws
  It is the time
  to unveil ourselves from our clouded eyes
  made by the heavy gauze
