Can You Imagine-Contest
Can you imagine a world where folk
would have genuine respect and
acceptance for one another?
I believe those two characteristics
would bring unity all over the land.
I want to live on a planet where love
and peace reigns,
However, respect and acceptance
can pave the way for love and peace.
We are divided by race, gender,
and social economic class.
Out of things that divide us, not
being accepted and not respected
takes center stage.
Before we can have love and peace, we
must accept and respect one another.
Can you imagine a world where one's
color wasn't it an issue? If one strived
to accept and respect someone on their
character within, I believe it can be a
bridge to love and peace.
Racism, classism, and not accepting
gender roles are due to ignorance.
The core of them all is one not willing
to respect and accept the other.
The rich think they're better than the
poor; if it's not voiced,
It's in the things they don't do or how
they look down on the poor; actions
speak louder than words.
Men thinking a woman's place is to
have kids,cook, and clean the
house is absurd.
Racism is crazy because the only main
difference between people is the color
of their skin.
Yes, we were raised differently because
of how we are taught, the truth of the
matter is; the human condition is the
same.
We all feel, and we all want to be loved
and accepted.
If we can just be open to acceptance
and the desire to respect, unity is on
the horizon.
Can you imagine living in a world of
love, peace, and unity?
You can have it if you let acceptance
and respect be a bridge.
“ The human condition trumps race,gender
and class; because we all want to be loved.”
