Thousands

Tony36

 A thousand screams for freedom

A thousand cries for peace

 

Among the troubles of this world

Among the unfairness, toil, and strife

There are those who will stand against this world

There are those who will fight

 

Freedom fighters

Rebels

Hippies

Those are just a few of the names given to them

There are many more

 

They fight against a system that has gone wrong

The fight against an unjust government

They fight to be free

 

A thousand screams for freedom

A thousand cries for peace

            Peace is something worth screaming for. I abhor violence of any kind. Good write Tony.

                    True words Tony. I look upon myself as a hippie, make love not war.

                        Apt in this unsettled world we live in. I like the way you start and end with the same lines.

                          Without the fight, many humans just fall through societal cracks. And without the fight for the right, rights are imaginary and unenforceable. Thanks for raising the banner, Tony!
