Stand Up

We must all unify as members of the genus Homo
Especially of the species H. sapiens
That's what all humans are
So why is there always that one man
Who are they judging
This world was made for all
Not just those
Who think they’re more deserving or powerful
Than the rest
For there is neither Jew nor Greek
There is neither slave nor free
There is no male or female
For you are all one
As our sixteenth said
Four score and seven years ago
Our fathers brought forth on this continent
A new nation
Conceived in liberty
And dedicated to the proposition
That all men are created equal
At last it is time
It is time to walk
Hand in hand
For it matters not
Who or what you are
Or who you claim to be
How is it
That the world can not see
It is time to rise from discrimination
And blind our eyes
For color
And race
So that the sons of the rich
And the sons of the poor
Shall be together at last
With those of former slaves and owners
That will be the day
When the sky turns to blood
And bleeds on those who cried
“We don’t serve your kind!”
Every person out there is unwilling to change
No matter what they say
Or who they fool
We all think we’re getting closer to our destination
To our dream
That we’ve travelled for so far
We must stand and yell
Let freedom ring
So we can follow our King
