Wake Up America

Recognize that the world is a beautiful place to live in Recognize how your decisions affect people within Search in their eyes the same fear that you have too For we are all one kind the differences are created by you Recognize that my fear is tangible just like yours Recognize how these days I prefer to stay indoors Consequences of assumptions that have turned into hate The direction this country is taking scares me of late I am a normal person just like you and the rest My hopes and dreams are to achieve nothing but the best Recognize that you are creating a divide so huge It will be hard to come back then to seek refuge My life involves my work, family and friends We discuss everything from news to latest fashion trends How then are we different when our actions are the same How can you assume faith is what defines who I am My mind has a thousand thoughts racing like the wind Talent bespoken, I want to be that person one of a kind How can I achieve this when my talent is not appreciated Rather I am constantly made to feel that I am underrated In a country that was known as the land of opportunities What happened to the people why so many impurities In your hearts, in your minds I think its time to listen to reason My people love this country but are being blamed in this region By: Khadija Hussein Pothi.
