Ode To Race
I could write about the white man and everything he’s done
or I could write about the black man
and all the victories he’s won
I could write about a person of every stereotype
but thats just a hype
and judgings not right
I could write about racism
and all the civil wars
or I could write about a place where hate is no more
I could write about a place where all individuals
are not solely based on ancestral residuals
No more colors, races, or creeds,
Just helping our neighbors with everything they need
This is the Dream that Dr. King had,
To stop looking at skin color,
would that be so bad,
I could write about how things will always stay the same,
or I could write to make a difference,
And be the one to start the Change
