The Becoming of Change


The Becoming of Change

Overcoming is becoming the way of becoming,

And becoming is the process of overcoming.

Walking the streets in many parts either black or white

“Race” seems like the only thing that keeps us tight.

Dr King,

What he means is love

Living

Our (His)

Vision

Everyday

Love IS becoming a way of overcoming.

Overcoming the racist thoughts

Sexist comments

Misleading judgments.

Dr. Martin Luther King, he made that dream a reality.

Realizing that we SHALL overcome.

Overcome the judgments and definitions.

Who defines us?

The people?

The community?

OUR world?

Becoming one nation

Becoming one family

Becoming the change!

Becoming is the process of overcoming.

Be the change.
