Dreams of Unity
All I dream to hear in the United States of America
Is United.
United from birth,
United until death,
United in war,
United to see
Our very last breath.
But this unity I dream of
Is still a dream
For this country I was born in
Was never built
For me.
This unity is a privilege,
For the white and wealthy man
And as I am none
Of those things,
This unity I dream of
Has been disbanded.
United never meant
United with all,
United meant
United with those who
Still love the America
They fostered all those
Years ago.
An America with:
Separation
Sequestration
Segregation
Because they thought
That was great.
That is not my America.
My America is
An America with:
Patience
Love
Respect.
I am coming to learn
that America never existed.
Because until we are truly United
And stand tall,
The rest of our country
Remains to fall.
