Prisoners of a World Untouched

A poem

Under the sound of the eruptions

We walk this road to self-destruction

Lost on a path looking for a place out of the storm

Searching for a place that feels warm

March on the beating sounds of Liberty

Even though your feet are tired

Run, and escape this feeling of misery

 March on

Every woman, child, and man

We'll figure this life out as one

As we walk this road under the boiling sun

And through the hatred they call teaching

Across the river of lies they call preaching

We'll gather the strength to rebuild a nation

One that was built with a mask of equality

But a face of discrimination

    As we march people will join us

We'll stand up to the focus of power

And as we grow hour by hour

Our calls will be hard to ignore

Once they crack

We'll demand more

 "And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,

 I still have a dream.

 It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream."

 I have a dream that one day humanity will prove me wrong

We'll find the time to work together

Putting black, white, gay, straight aside and get along

So we can built from a mistake called ignorance

And finally learn how to accept difference. 

I have a dream that one day the free world

Will experience a feeling so liberating

All the surrounding darkest would start fading

And it would make all the struggles worthy,

And all the bruises just

 A feeling that one day would set free prisoners

 That have been caged for life times

Prisoners of color

Prisoners of sexuality

Prisoners of words unsaid

Would all spill on the streets and say

"Free at last, Free at last

Thank God almighty

We are free at last
