Segregation

1961

Our morals neglected,

Our people divided,

Our nation a shameful mess.

“All men are created equal.”

Did our forefathers do nothing?

America suffered through generations of torture and war

Only to find itself back where it began

Where were the police?

Where was the government?

Where were our consciences?

What have we fought for all these years?

Millions died in the Civil War,

Yet we find ourselves back where we began.
