A Poem About Human Rights

* * * *

I

Have the right

To stand

For what I

Believe in

I believe in truth

Justice and

Equality for all

* * * *

I

Have the right

To my own opinion

To state what I

Believe to be truth

I believe in

Freedom of thought

Freedom of speech

* * * *

I

Have the right

To my own Sexuality

Because it’s a reality

That all do not

Desire the same gender

I do not surrender

My right

* * * *

I

Have the right

To live free

From bondage

Chains and slavery

Violence and abuse

Or being accused and used

For other’s gratifications

* * * *

I

Have the right

To personal choice

To choose what I

Want to be

Go where I need to go

Because I have the right

To be free

* * * *

I

Have the right

To stand for

My religion

Because it’s my decision

To serve my God

Almighty

He alone should judge me

* * * *

We all

Have the right

To our own

Rights and justice

Sexuality and religion

To speak is our decision

To make our own

Choice to be free!
