iam poem

i am a person of color
i wonder why ever one Else hates up
i her foul and discriminating things
i see hatred and violence being carried out
i want for all of us to just get along

i dream that we will all stick together thick and though
i try with my people to get our point across peacefully
i hope it just stay peacefully
