Our Right To Be Free

Image from Piaxabay: John Hain

I knew there’d be those who disagreed
But I had to voice the things I believed
I considered it my God-given deed
To shout loud against Elitist greed
Against those who treat us like a noxious weed
To be disregarded until there’s need
Those same who believed our diet nothing but calorific feed
Those who were busily broadcasting their pernicious Creed
Those who cared not if we bleed
Those who turned deaf ears to our plea
When we demanded the right to live free

84 words written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt: Creed
