March Onward

I stare in front of me As I put One foot In front of the other I look down At my wrists And see them yoked to my brother’s And my sister’s I think about How proud My mother Would have been To see her young man TAKE A STAND And do what’s right In spite of hindsight I hear the words of Dr. King Ring They echo, they echo, they echo, Through my soul- I’ve came a long way Just to go even further If I take a peaceful stand Maybe the white man Will understand I’m tired of all this Constant, seemingly non-stopping Fussing and Fighting God said it 1st Shoot, the white man even said it 2nd Re-iterated by another president 3rd We all were created equal That’s why I’m here To march With all of my equals And show my white equals That when you add us up: Guess what? We… still… equal 'Cause God created all of us I’m here To take a stand and a firm stance We will overcome as we march onward to Freedom. Equality. Justice. And Jobs. We will overcome as we also have dreams We march onward to A better future and brighter dreams Let us commence: As we March. Onward.
