Make Room<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The jobs are scarce, Mine taken away. There was no choice.<\/p>\n

Make room for me.<\/p>\n

Their card is green. He said too bad. You don\u2019t belong.<\/p>\n

Make room for us.<\/p>\n

My ice is less. The waters rise. My earth feels hot.<\/p>\n

Make room for life.<\/p>\n

Some people lie. To serve themselves, And we all lose.<\/p>\n

Make room for truth.<\/p>\n

The Rich get breaks. They make new rules. So Poor must pay.<\/p>\n

Make room to choose.<\/p>\n

War brings us death. No thought of life. They will not stop.<\/p>\n

Make room for peace.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s those that hate. They just breed fear. But most want good.<\/p>\n

Make room for love.<\/p>\n

A race is different, A language too. A gender neutral<\/p>\n

Make room for all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Compassion, trust, empathy, respect.<\/p>\n

Listen, hear, believe, speak out<\/p>\n

Call, petition, rally, rebuke.<\/p>\n

Make room, it\u2019s there, just have to look<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And don\u2019t accept, the things that fail<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in the right, we will prevail<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s work together. As one, we\u2019re strong.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll make this change and right this wrong.<\/p>\n

Make room in heart and also mind.<\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t sit back and you will find<\/p>\n

That when you start. Get off your duff.<\/p>\n

Stand up and say, \u201cWe\u2019ve had enough.\u201c<\/p>\n

Shout out and fight. Reclaim our laws.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had our fill of all your flaws.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to let the world all see.<\/p>\n

We are the land of liberty.<\/p>\n

In the words of that well known song:<\/p>\n

We shall overcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
