We Have The Rights To Protest, Including Beyoncé Poem by Hebert Logerie

We all have the rights to wake-up heaven, protest,
Raise hell, accept, reject, support, and contest.
We should protest against hate, race bias, bigotry,
Discrimination, segregation, and Police brutality.
We all should demonstrate against racial slurs, evils,
Injustice, poverty, division, hypocrisy, and the devils.
We must contest and fight against fraudulent election,
Prejudice, nepotism, irregularities, and corruption.

We, hereby, support good cops, scrupulous politicians,
Freedom fighters, brave men, and law abiding citizens.
We will fight for women's rights, equality for everyone,
Justice and free speech for all. Beyoncé, you're not alone,
You have our support. Our people have suffered enough.
Too many of our offspring have been killed for nothing.
Enough is enough. We want the violence to stop. Let's sing
For Peace. Let's dance for love. Let's shout, yell, and cough.
We are free to express ourselves. We will not be intimated.
We are brave, strong, fair, patient, and dedicated.
We all have the rights to raise objections, contest,
Wake-up heaven, raise hell, refuse, and protest.
