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!
