Protest after protest,
chant after chant.
I watch and listen
as people continuously fight for their rights.
But the fighting should’ve been over
on July 4th, 1776
when it was declared that
all men are equal.
Everyone is fighting for the equality
of all people
except for the government.
I find it strange
and heartbreaking
that what once was “everyone”
has now become “one percent”.
Equality now comes with standards
very few can reach.
What happened to “all men are created equal”?
What happened to “land of the free”?
What happened to our country?
