Let Freedom Ring

 by Hannah Haywood


Let Freedom Ring

 

A storm brewing has now blown to life.

A country split apart by hate; families divided by strife.

The wrongs done are great, and the time has come for them to be made right.

The time has come to make a choice

We must stand up and fight!

We fight for the freedom of those who do not have a voice.

Will we do our part to give justice?

Up! Stand up!

Will we help to rid our country of this malice?

We must rise to stop this evil; we must answer the call of war!

All are created equal; Should this we not fight for?

Should we turn a deaf ear to our brother’s plea, should we allow this evil to continue?

No! We must fight to make others free.

Will we not free ourselves by this too?

Though the sky will fill with smoke, and the ground will stain with the blood of the fallen,

The bond of slavery must be broke.

The things to come should not be forgotten; with doing the right thing, comes a great price.

Everyone will encounter loss, but we cannot compromise.

Help rid our country of this great flaw.

Let freedom ring!
