United We Stand

What's the deal with this discrimination we face. 

And I'm not just addressing the issues of race 

but the amount of hate that dwells within this place 

 

I mean I'm so sick and tired it's making me impatient 

Even waiting for the bus didn't put me in this situation

 

Placed in world where we judge others based on  sexual orientation 

Physical limitations 

Lack financial support 

And being comfortable in their own skin 

 

We do this day to day frequently

And it's because of our own insecurity 

That we attack those perceived as weak in order to feel at peace

 

Now these actions need a proper explanation; why do we hate on others that have unique but different opinions 

 

It's because of the jealousy within our own self-esteem that we despise others who can carry themselves properly 

 

Whether it's in the classrooms the hallways, the bathroom, at parties, In different places we eat, or in the world where we all stay 

 

And don't get me wrong I have that same jealousy as well

You know when you see somebody doing better for themselves

Seeing them in a situation where you can tell that 

If you were in that role you wouldn't fair so well

 

So you scold and treat them lesser than yourself

Disagree with anything they say because you can't stand to see them express themselves

 

But I must tell you my friends 

That with this type of hate 

 

discrimination will never end 

We have to stop these trends when someone is different within our social norm we gang up and criticize them 

 

I mean can't we see that this is wrong 

If I were to ask  "how would you feel in that position" how would you respond

 

A wise man once stated a very true fact 

Darkness cannot drive out darkness 

Only light can do that 

Hate cannot drive out hate 

Only love can do that

 

And it is because of that wise man we are here at this assembly today 

MLK Martin Luther the King of peace and equality

 

I can't stress enough that love is the tool drive out this hatred 

It is the light we need to see past these

Dark tunnels we created 

And at the end of this tunnel we shall see a promising loving and united generatio
