1923 to 2023

Time

Some minds still talk about color supremacy

America what do you see

What have we learned

What will it take for us to see

Gleaning lessons from our own history

So many teaching hatred more than generosity

What is right, what rings true

A democracy that is old and stood the test of time too

Some say it’s because of the children that we fight

The wishes for one child can not overshadow another child’s rights

Lessons and blessings even if you don’t believe what many do

The truth of the matter is what you believe or don’t is only up to you

Remnants to the old age and to the days that now seem new

Giving birth to the hope that will see us through

Generation to generation it seems that much has changed

Still the more things change the truth of the matter remains the same

Life’s lessons are tried and true

Choices to be made are left up to you
