Realizing the Dream

Thu, 06/13/2013 - 18:09 -- Erin230

Living up to preset accomplishments
Paving the way for the future generations to come
Rewriting history in memory of past ancestors
Taking responsibilities when the time comes

Changing the way we function in this world
Working together towards one goal
Making a difference in our community
With no rewards to uphold

Walking in the footsteps of a dream
Realizing the dream was more of a goal
Becuase dreams are just thoughts created
No telling how they may unfold

Taking a righteous path to achieve greatness
In search of a better day
All this violence, killing, and crime should be put to an end
Positive, there is a better way

Gifted with so many talents
But we are recognized by all our flaws
Put down because of our color
Held back by so many laws

The dream is of unity
Confident that there will be a better day
Let us realize that we are all the dream
Or we will become the nightmare
