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
iam a person of color

i pretend sometimes that every thing is alright
i feel better about my self when i do this...some times
i need to no longer pretend but to know
i worry that this may never come true
i cry and plead but it gets me no where
i am a person of color

i understand that it may take some time
i believe that some day it might come true
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
iam a person of color
