Write a poem, song, or rap based on the Emancipation Proclamation. Incorporate direct quotes from the speech. It needs to be at least 4 rhyming stanzas.

All persons, yes all persons

Can you hear me beyond all those commotions

Held as slaves within any State, yes held captive

Must be given the right to freely live.

This freedom, oh for so long has been deprived

Will make such persons finally be revived

Let no one hinder, no one repress

Such people of their liberty possess.

But you, oh people now set free

Must all violence never agree

Let labor be your source of gladness now

Cause your wage you’ll receive, I vow.

As freed men you shall be

Serving fellowmen and country see

Freely you receive so freely give

Freedom that you long to have, enjoy and live.
