Imagine Reality

Imagine life without love, and you will see the possibilities of a world living chaos; societies 
ruled by anarchy.
Imagine a people being killed for someone else’s belief, and you will see the innocent dying 
from the misguided thoughts of the insanes theology.
Imagine a people judged because of their tan.  Open your eyes and will see a culture deeper 
and richer than a few more ounces of melanin in the skin.  I bet you wouldn’t judge us if you 
truly knew where life began.
Imagine a world filled with tolerance and acceptance that expanded from history. Would 
color matter, would Martin and Malcolm be the men they were destined to be.  Would you be 
you, would I be me.
Imagine if my people, all my people across this world formed a company. Would you be 
scared, what would be our monopoly? Probably everything you see. Maybe then you would 
realize there is no end to our possibilities.
Imagine if these words meant more to you than they did to me, maybe then you would be 
feeling me, and maybe you will see a future where your skin wasn’t white and mine wasn’t 
black…. can you imagine that!
