Sherri Fletcher Poet Dramatic Verse

Reality

Broken City
Broken Dreams
Broken Promises
What does this mean?
Can anyone remember?
Does anyone care?
The Battle is not over
Our freedom is still scarce 
I know what you’re thinking 
I know what you say 
We won the election in 2008
Is that all it takes we win a race
And now you think he’s our saving grace
It takes more than a man
It takes me it takes you
Is there anyone out there? 
If so do you know what to do?
Let’s fight for what’s ours
Let’s start it today
Equality, Freedom and the American Way
The will to be all we can be 
The hope to do it all 
Oh say can you see 
they want us to fall
So stop crying Broken Cities
Stop crying Broken Dreams
Stop crying Broken Promises
You know what this means
It means take a stand 
Fight for what you believe
Or one day you will wake up 
With No Freedom
That’s Reality
