Beyond Blackness

A universal desire for love

Crying out beyond the close doors of society

I never had to cross a picket line

But securing my civil rights has always been a concern of mine

I have often wondered where the line between defining race and just being human lies

As I look at the pain of the past in my elder's eyes

I see the struggle for equality still lingers inside their minds

It's a new day and history is turning its page

The beginning of the emancipation from disharmony is set to begin

It's time to thoroughly examine the world's separation from within

The truth must now be a friend

Because stereotypes are no longer a cause to defend

America has spoken and voted for change

There is a new president but a world crisis to solve

So everyone must be involved if there is to be justice for all

There is no way to escape the effects of what's already been done

So it's time to handle executive business and tackle the most pressing issues

A weakening economy does not attach itself to a single face

The reality is America's problems are affecting the masses

Regardless of race
