Aspiration
As soon as the sun rises or falls,
I begin to pray
That one day we will hear
Our children, black or white, all play
And never worry about the vexations
Of trials and tribulations.
I want to hear on the news
That our fight is over.
Now together, we’ll conquer the world with love.
And with the love we all hope for,
I do wish, I do pray
We get it.
But ignorance of the mind may tell
Some people to say, “Don’t be so naive,”
“Don’t dream of something unrealistically swell.”
But if the fight continues, so will my dreams of naivety.
We will strive for something that needs to be done,
And together, WE WILL OVERCOME
