Up

some rights are wrong

 

some rights are right, some rights are wrong

if they protect just a few instead of a throng

for if that happens something wrong occurs

for those boat-less folks left behind on the shore

 

sure they deserve privacy

that is until they cross the line

and start making accusations

about others and times long left behind

 

yes, not long ago, everything seemed so right

with someone very special and peace every night

but that’s when it started and it’s not like now

where positive communication now occurs like sweat off a brow

 

for when others take sides

there is not much you can do

but question their so called justice

that’s just for a few

 

and if it breaks up

your future, you know

it’s ok to them

because it’s the other half’s show

 

so I will express my opinion

and finally bid you,  “adieu!”

and pray that the rights of all

will eventually upstage, the few
