Dope.
By CAROLINA SANCHEZ, Sports Editor
“The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.”
-Maya Angelou
I know why the player kneels
They kneel for freedom
I know why the person marches
They march for freedom
I know why the activists speak
They speak for freedom
I don’t know why the KKK marches
Do they march for freedom?
I don’t know why the president tweets
Does he tweet for freedom?
I know why I read
I read for freedom
I know why I speak up
I speak up for freedom
I know that my parents have immigrated
They immigrate for freedom
I know that everyone is not free
So we search for freedom.
