Poem
America, I'm on the outside looking in, so a fresh perspective I can offer, shall I begin? Firstly this is for each & every one of you, there is no hierachy, no person of more or less value. You're all humans & you're all alive, gender & race aside, you all survive. If gay, lesbian, straight or bi, who like to give everyone a try. If you are one to pray, or not, read what I say. You are all Americans at this time, reading each & every word of my rhyme. All people are created equal, they say society is to blame, & make out it's that simple, people don't stay the same. So you see this continuous cycle of white power, wealth & fame, but society is shaped by people, with unfair rules to the game. So people are the reason, that there's discrimination, & that's human treason, not from the leaders of the nation. Lincoln freed the black slaves in America, a white man, whom paid the price in the theatre. It was JFK that ended the segregation one day, but within a few days he was made to pay. "What can you do for your country?", each take a share of responsibility, evenly, you have the capability, in time all will be seen equally, & the discrimination will start to decline. Today you are equal people & set up to become the greatest generation, with an opportunity to make history, with the age of "The Great Integration", a period of future history with glory beyond expectation, when different races from different places created a truely united nation. If divide is your only foresight, believing nothing can make all unite, then can I bring 9/11 to mind, on that day each & every one of you walked the same stride, united as one, with nearly all of mankind, together under the stars & stripes you all stood on the same side. You an American with American pride, saw your own kind attacked by those from the outside, American dreams denied to the thousands that died. As those towers came tumbling down each of you felt the hurt inside, you comforted one another as tears fell from eyes, forget conspiracies, focus, your fellow Americans lost their lives. On 9/11 there was no divide, if you deny this you lie, you cannot stray or get away from the fact you all united on that day. History tells a story, it is not your reality, teaching mistakes from events, that can be used now to prevent mistreatment. It is the responsibility of the people, if you are to make society equal nothing is more vital, if you are to unite all. United in the title, but the mighty fall.
