Restoring American Neighborhoods
Restoring American
Neighborhoods
Motherhood, Fatherhood, Parenthood,
Brotherhood and Sisterhood are the keys
To the doors of a unified peace and goodwill
The hood being the covering of one mind
In an agreement, that empowers every step
We take as a nation moving as one collective unit
Refusing to allow terror to rule our lives
Enforcing, you touch one you touch us all
American soil grew to greatness from unity
Righteousness, Mercy and Grace taking pride
In our homeland and the value of life
We need to rise from the ashes building a human
Chain by one hand to another unbreakable
Through honoring the life in one another
Not Race, creeds or gender wealthy or poor simply
Because blood may be thicker than water
But
Love is
Thicker
Then
Blood
As a child everyone watched over the other
If your house burned down everyone came to
Help build a new one and feed and clothed those in crisis
I am not one but a part of each of you and you matter
To me using any gift or talent you possess to reach others
Our
Actions prove
What dwells
In our hearts
Help tear down
The social walls
Of indifference
By seeing equality
Moreover, value
In the coverings
Of the HOOD
