Dear Society,


Dear Society,
You have a major problem
You've created a place where the people are divided.
Though they have all the same dreams and hopes,
They believe they are as different as night and day.

They don't understand that without unity
There will be mass civil disobedience,
Until the black man asserts himself.

But you can't talk about the black man,
without talking about billions.
Because we know our worth.
We either stand together or fall together.

A non violent coexistence OR
A violent co-annihilation

Both are at your mercy, and that of time.
But remember that procrastination is the theif of time
We cannot yield!
We shall continue to resist and fight.
Until those in power, give up the privilges and
pleasures that keep them in power.

We must take the world and make it ours!
Power WITH compassion
Might WITH morality
And
Strength WITH sight

 

Sincerely, 


Raven S. Smith
