HopeA simple word with

Hope A simple word with more meaning behind it than you think You ask me what my hope is And there are many ways I could answer I hope that one day this country will accept all people Black, white, Gay, Straight, Man, Woman, It does not matter I hope this country will choose love and acceptance Over money and power I hope that my little sister never looks in a mirror And cries because she hates what she sees I hope my little brother never hits another person Just to prove that he is a man I hope That one day society will stop trying to tell Young people how to live their lives And finally let them just live I hope that every girl feels beautiful Exactly the way she is I hope that our children will learn To stop attacking each other And unite together for one cause I hope that no one ever goes through The horrible things that I had to go through Simply because I didn't meet their standards This hope that i have is far from reality But the farther away it is The harder we must fight for it
