As I look Around


As I look around all I see is false images of what we were supposed to be I see the false image that portrayed on television Oh the ignorance But as I look around, very few I see, coming together as one to help build the unity wall that great pioneers once started This wall holds the blood sweat and tears of many that we just see as cheerful But let us not forget, they also had troubles and we still face those troubles These problems may be minuscule to us now Oh because we have a black president But not even he can stop these troubles Ironically this wall that we build will help us realize that we all can come together come together and be strong and protect one another As I look around, one day, I hope to see this wall hand in hand helping each other, as one end what was a social barrier
