Poem Title:
Poem
Genealogy —The beginning of a family tree— The misery of his life in this unwanted land nonetheless, made him learn how to bear in times of hardship under the scorching sun in the field; comprehend what is the meant by forgiveness when carrying a heavy burden on his back under the pouring lashes; finding the way to wait till time comes in the sleepless nights, tossing himself on the rough straw mattress. He, therefore, knew that no man will perish if there is a dream, whether it is sweet or terrifying, and, therefore, he handed his dream down to his offspring. Because my forefathers underwent unbearable agonies, because my forebear forgave his oppressors, their unwanted land became my own, it became my beloved motherland, and I am standing here as a proud member of this nation the nation that tries not to live in the past but live in a promised future for all. I am holding the hands of the people seeking oneness not because of colors of skin but because of individual personality and human dignity. O now is the time we most see the things through eyes that are not distorted by prejudice, O now is the time to realize the true meaning of this nation’s founding fathers as they proclaimed, “All men are created equal,” and march to the our future proudly, waving our nation’s beautiful flag, in the spirit of mutual understanding and reconciliation, diving into the unceasing currents of unbreakable promise in the mood of harmony and unity.
