We'll fight for truth to win the day
to work as one and not betray
earth in peace we need, come what may
we shall be free, we shall be free.
No more hunger or poverty
oppression's door, we'll find the key
with state of mind, not killing sprees
we shall be free, we shall be free.
Clean up the world, to view the light
together heal with all our might
no more wars, no more petty fights
we shall be free, we shall be free.
When what we see is all the same
then everyone lives with no shame
no winners in dominion's game
we shall be free, we shall be free.
Standing on equality's pier
where harmony is felt so clear
through so much pain and many tears
we are now free, we are now free.
Author notes
-2- We Shall Be Free --
We Shall Be Free [...] Have a little faith, and hold out, because we shall be free. [....] When the last child cries for a crust of bread, when the last man dies for the words that he says [...] When the last thing we notice is the color of skin, and the first thing we look for is the beauty within, when the skies and oceans are clean again, then we shall be free. When we're free to love anyone we choose and this worlds big enough for all different view.....

I really liked this. I think your rhyme scheme was off, however, it was very nicely done. I enjoyed it. One day, I think that we will be free of the horror that plagues our planet… our lives.. our children. Very nicely done. =)

My rhyme scheme follows the form of the Monotetra

=) Oh.. well I'm never too good with that sort of thing. Even though it was tilted a little in my head, I still liked it =) I totally see the rhyme scheme now. =) my mistake.
