Poem Commentary

I had a dream speech

A Man Just Like Me

What is black, white, brown, yellow etc
Is it to seperate man
that lead to hate
even rape
do we have any escape
Society has always
since the beginning of time
dropp these very same lines
just to cope a dime
for the unwanted to serve
time after time
just for the thurst of blood
through votes and elections
keeping a hand on our minds
by the sword of warlords
to conquer and divide mankind
as they saw it
to one's reap
they was afraid to let us
raise to the ocassion
through literacy, love and one nation
putting cultures against one another
to no notion
being fooled by the golden rules
thinking man was going to be trick
from taking licks after licks
from that stick
only to make him smart and slick
knowing right from wrong
made man strong
to bring us today
'I had a Dream' and 'Change'
our 44th President(Barrack Obama)
a man just like me
has final came our way
lets pray Amen

the ideas behind this are true enough, racism still exists though it seems to be evolving and isn't the same as it used to be. nice write...

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
