What I See

Day by Day I look upon a street Watching and listening As kids are dancing to the beats You know what else I see I see the past With all the vision and dreams That has come to be from a time When blacks and whites argued to no degree Until people started screaming, “I have a Dream” Is when the pain and suffering Started to deplete since Everybody cried for Equality I now see kids of all color out playing While, their parents; black and white Are just outside, joking, smoking, partying, And just waving I see the past, with all our heroes Chatting and preaching about all the sorrow It is to them I make this vow To respect all my brother Even when blood is shed Cause we finally found peace Without feeling dead For they are the kings of our rights Rosa, Malcolm, and Luther Had just finished their fights It is to them we will forever owe All of our civil rights Because if it was not for them We will be lost in the violent night Instead our future now shines In God’s divine light
