It was sometime during my first week of college, while sitting outside of the dorms, that I realized I was surrounded by kids from a multitude of racial and cultural backgrounds, and we were all getting along. Not a single person cared about the color or religious beliefs of someone else. We were all equal, we were all freshman coming together in a new environment and dependent on each other for support. The first part of this two piece poem deals with my fears of civil regression if the people of this country do not band together in this time of recession.
So many people, my mind can’t stop racing.
I’m living my dreams, my dreams I’m not chasing.
And I cant help but smile as I continue my pacing
down the street, and I see the love blazing.
Daps handed out, no discrimination, no hating.
This relation, I swear, is the only way of retaining
our nation.
We’ve got to pull together while there’s something worth saving,
or a broken world will be our creation.
Creating
a revisitation to the old days, the old ways, of hunting, grunting, and mating.
And babies will have babies, continuously procreating,
until there’s too many babies for them to be the same thing.
And if it comes to this, I hope and pray
they don’t commit the deadly sin again,
of blaming their troubles on their friends and kin
based on the color of their skin.
Hating!
And by hating, they would then be raping the minds of the innocents
who can’t be blamed for taking in all the thoughts that their parents were taught and never fought,
replacing the voice screaming in their heads that said
“It’s wrong to persecute based on color or religious faith tracing back to the same bringer of peace, The Amazing!”
And I’m sitting, because it takes all of me deeply contemplating.
I can’t seem to understand how a man can be proud of himself while he’s degrading
another human being because they’re not the same thing.
