‘I have a vision;
Represented by God and I:
A nation;
Painted;
On the imagination of my mind’s eye.
Canvas…
Smooth surface…
Orchestrated by God’s creative strokes…
Brush of ALL colors,
Blended with ALL KINDS of folks.
MY IMAGINATION
Sees the actuality of the American dream;
No need to ‘bear arms’
Poverty schemes
Or the famous ‘I Have A Dream’.
No stepping on people’s backs
Just for the rich to get another buck…
But unifying…
Standing up…
For the ones who aren’t strong enough.
MY IMAGINATION
I’m seeing kids of ALL complexions;
Growing up
In harmony
WITHOUT the darker one wrongfully arrested…
Shot for NO reason
Or even gunned down by the cops;
In MY IMAGINATION
I visualize ALL of racism STOPPED!
Opportunities the same
Our purposes at a new height;
Without this country ran by only the rich
Who happens to be white…
Not caring about what’s wrong or right.
LIFE;
Is fun to live…
Fingers interlocked
To help each other up out the pit.
No more provoked slips
Other nations see greatness in our midst.
Community is:
Communication and unity;
We are ALL in one place.
Humanity ISN’T color;
We are ALL from the HUMAN RACE!
Difference IS NOT Division;
Our residence needs to polish up…
And be the possibility;
That EVERY other nation see in US!
MY IMAGINATION
Sees our country
Actually viewed as the ‘Promises Land’
Not complacent
But a Nation
Painted
On MY IMAGINATION…’
