Poem
A rocky road we’ve through I know But Hostility, is not how to solve it though Things will never work out if we don’t love one another Because here in this country, we are sister and brother We outline our government sadly on the past Which may be the reason we are starting to crash Listening to the tone, that’s planted all in your ear Enraging you with hate, racism, and fear Though the civil rights laws have been passed and enforced The unity of the union is still in tragic divorce Maybe it’s all because we tend to be afraid of change, a coward Making our homeland , the land not of the free, but of the sour We all tend to, hate others because they are not like you A human instinct, I don’t deny it’s truth But sometimes inside ourselves we have to set that aside And look at the new way in the light of our eyes Ours eyes will not deceive us, that’s a promise I will keep I promise you also, that I’m tired of seeing this land weep Its been wrapped into a package, whose seal will just not break Change in America, seems to be to much for us to take Explain to me, what is race anyway, is it allowed to be defined Is caring for any other race still considered to be a crime A crime made up by all of us its so, not just by the white citizens Oh yes, there’s just as much ignorance in Hispanic, Asian, native, and Afro men. See, what you are failing to recognize is that this is the melting pot Been around for two hundred years, and this caldrons still hot The fire seems to just have started and it continues on Serving up a new kind of man, and new type of Adam’s son See if race is true, then American is a race alone Because in its fine fabrics, to many races are sown That’s why when I look, at an American like me I see an identical person, an identical race to see Colors, oh colors, you ask why they are so It’s just the pigment in your skin that anyone can get you know We all make beautiful children together, and their smiles tend to be white Can’t you see that in this day and time, it’s time we truly unite Say goodbye to the past, whip it all away, and focus on the future time Where America well not fall , but climb Out of this terrible, dreadful Abyss of horror Get your transportation, because we are moving forward.
