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!
