But if we come together we can unite
When holding hands and standing together
There is no storm we cannot weather

There is power in acceptance, power in understanding
There is power in love, and power in demanding
That we stand firm no matter the view of our nation
We will not stand for separation or discrimination

Let the youth proclaim: we are one people, one land
We walk this earth in peace, hand in hand
Let the distinction of color completely fade
Let us simply be humans no matter our shade

Let racism and bigotry die
Let us no longer live that vile lie
That all men were not created equal under God’s sight
Standing firm it is possible to unite, and win this fight

A Dream

We will not stand for separation or discrimination

Let the youth proclaim: we are one people, one land

Let the distinction of color completely fade
Let us simply be humans no matter our shade

Let racism and bigotry die
Let us no longer live that vile lie
That all men were not created equal under God’s sight
Standing firm it is possible to unite, and win this fight

BRAVO, followed by resounding cheer!!!!! I soooo feel you on this one as my own personal mantra is as follows:

" We don't have to understand to accept
& we don't have to accept to understand,
but, by managing one of the two...
We can usually avoid judgement! "~Me

I can't help but believe this is a good 1st step in making your dream come true...OUR DREAM!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
