The Dream Lost Within The Racist Nightmare


I'm going to speak my mind

But I'm going to speak it freely and also stay kind.

A dream lies lost here.

Racism brings our country hatred and fear.

Human ignorance I am almost in despair

Knowing racism is going on everywhere.

Racist feel superior and they differentiate

And those who are different they discriminate.

Many people still judged by their race

Lost in a world where the dream lost its place.

Hateful words I do recall

Theres no such thing as equality for all.

With racism no one is free

And those racists fools have no sympathy.

Years have gone by without Martin Luther King

He had a few words like "Let freedom ring"

The dream may be lost but it will never die

Sooner or later we will all live peaceful lives.

Equality for one should be equality for all

The dream will stay strong and racism will fall.
