The silent oppression minorities encounter is often overlooked and conversation is the first step in rectifying it.
"Envision"
No love or affection for the darker complexion
Affirmative action, how unfair to the white man
The white man who constructed the plan
To silence the voice of minority
But the minority is becoming a majority
Bare with me, the time will come
When diversity conquers all and is celebrated
As roles of power are delegated to the darker skin
Our kin will see that color isn’t defining
They will live on the silver lining
Not subjected to the writhing our ancestors endured
Ensuring a brighter future
A future where moochers of privilege will not be exalted
Demeaned for careening off the right path
Our society will have a tight grasp on the real issues
No longer misusing the power of mass media
Our future has been stifled for the moment due to corporate greed
What we need is representation for the citizens of this nation
So action can be taken against the silent injustices
But will we ever reach the mountain top?
I do not know and neither do you
Which is why we can’t stop climbing the rungs of acceptance
If a summit is reached we can only go higher
For we will never tire in the effort to create a more perfect world
It seems absurd but let my words be heard
Carry them to your classes and dinner table discussions
Rushing to a better tomorrow prevents sorrow
Letting society live in harmony
Can’t you see?
