Brothers and Sisters


From the beginning, We were made equal. In the past, they didn't see t That we were made equal No matter what color of skin No matter how full the lips, the body, or gentle flare of the nose, fine hair, fair skin We are all the same, Equal as one under God. As Dr. Martin Luther King stated "I have a dream" for Peace and the Equality of blacks and whites To end the separation of brothers and sisters I too, have a dream, that the chains and shackles of the past will rotten and break away from the wrists and ankles of us all. Not just from blacks, but from every single race that walks this Earth For we were made equal I have a dream, that the ghosts of prejudice, judgement, and racism would be exorcised from the minds and bodies of the youth of today, So that the Angel of Love and the love that God has for us all could finally reach or hearts and enlighten them, We are all children of God For we were made equal We are Brothers and Sisters
