I had a dream that Dr king mentored Obama before the oval office
Malcom X liberated the inner cities reconstructing our youth
Marcus Garvey formed powerful coalitions with Jay z, Oprah, Diddy, Tyler Perry, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and spike lee
Then again Jordan is still engulfed within himself playing aboo for the Aladdin
America had fewer wars, less prisons, and equal education
Crack cocaine and heroin was never introduced in our communities
Alcohol remained abolished
Hope and the Lord’s words were the only remedies
There were no such thing as social class
Fat, skinny, ugly, dark, white, yellow, brown, and beauty were all together in one class
Everyone was equally represented
Welfare and food stamps were unheard of
Jobs were plentiful
Health care was free to all
There was no minimum wage
America was controlled by the people for the people
And blacks were considered people
Even though America’s founding fathers made it clear that
Blacks were not citizens and blacks held no right
That whites were to acknowledge
But today from the jungles to the ships to the fields
To obtaining a college education
We seek knowledge of our history
But we are lost in time
Only to be recreated as an inferior people
Can we rise above the social stigma?
Can we abandon the corners?
Take charge of our homes and communities
