Poem
The question so many have asked What are we doing for others ?? Are we making a change Are we letting? What was work so hard to go in vain? We used to have morals We used to have a heart This world ?? is slowly falling apart We used to look out For one another We use use to be able to depend on our sister and brother Seems like everything now has become a competition From the beginning ?? to end Seems like no one wants to see anyone win Friends turning on friends We really got to get it together Young people no longer respect the elders So many things happening on the day to day basis So many families with crying faces Talking it out and communicating seems like it's no longer a thing Did we really listen to his dream ?? I meant Dr Martin Luther King Did you listen to him Did you hear him out He wanted to make a change Didn't do it for clout He made a way for a new to way to begin We got to figure it out He had a vision He saw it through He tried to make the world better for me and you Sacrifices were made By our tribe Believe it or not You can still thrive It was also said "One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right When the head is totally wrong " We have to push through And become tough and strong Right your wrongs Make your wrongs back right Do it for you, continue to fight Don't fight with your hands fight with the knowledge you've learned over time Create new visions See them out this time Dream big No matter how hard it seems DR.KING also said "no one has the right to rain on your dreams ." We shall overcome We have overcame We shall walk hand and hand For we are all the same Color doesn't define We are all one of a kind Theres so much more that I could say Thanks Dr King for paving the way Little girls and little boys You guys are the future Dream big Don't stop Give it all you got And if you can give a little more Acts of service are always an open door Doesn't matter if it's a smile or a helping hand Be a part of a great plan We salute ?? Yes we do Thank you Dr King For all you've done We celebrate you today Job well done . Written by Concetta Hardnett 01/20/2025
