What's this world fighting for
Ideals or something more
Free speech was jeopardized

Now that we're urbanized

Oh, no, I won't show complacency

Speak out, it's about equality
Mandates integrate sex, color, creed
Black, white, embrace what's right

Sometimes hatred isn't the issue

Affirmative action

Obsolete practice
Criminal tactics
Help out no one


Zealots tout their civil rights
Spreading their spite

Hollywood formulates
Tensions escalate


Hope for a brighter day
Illuminate the gray


I realize not all mankind
Choose to be "color blind"
That's the way it should be

In society

Legal litigations

Racist allegations
Defense of prejudice
Shouldn't prove innocence


Better ways of yesterday regretfully are gone
Politically correct is now en vogue to be

Finding out that turnabout isn't fair play
You're free to choose a point of view
But that's the issue
