I Have That Right... Poem by Kurt Behle

In that same march 21 day
When we matched celebrating human rights day
...To bright night...
The door slammed open, not right
There was an, old man driven home drunk
He called himself the great punk
... Sleep made restless
as he turned the radio, singing ain't soundless
Dad, I too am a human being
I have that right to life

Your stern posture suppouse to protect me from cold winters
Blowing winds and hot sun embraces
But you write a chapter in my life full of painfull experinces.
We are all functions in a mathematics equation
Your say equal sign equals 'my say counts' to a conclusion
My Husband, I also have that right to freedom of expression

Let me reveal those soulful depictions of the world in my view
Allow me to make my own moves
To believe in what I understand
And play sport that I love most
Let me express myself to the level best
Cause I have that right regardless of my gender

I am because you are
Allow me to break those bricked walls that hold us back
From being who we want to be
For I am because you are
Respectfully...
I will tread carefully
Because you and I have that right to human dignity

It cause me pain
Wonderin' how to put it down the train
I wish to pay my school fees with those drops of rain
He and his wife are best friends with thugs
They can not give up on drugs
We try to get them onto the rug
To have them tame, they are just lame
With fees unpayed
I am out of school gates
Oh, ... No! ! Daddy! Mommy!
I have that right to education
