Black History Month 2011 and Beyond the World We Know Today

Alfonso Coley
I awoke from a fantastic dream

To find that racism existed no more.

I awoke from a bad dream

to realize this was just but a dream

within a dream.

I awoke from a nightmare

And a golden light

Led me to a land where racism

Was dead to the earth I walked.

I awoke from a dream

To find I was walking

Onto a nightmare

Where slavery never ended,

And as I walked down the nightmare street

God spoke to me

And said

This is the world of today,

But tomorrow my son

The sun will shine upon all men

And women,

And I will erase racism

from their lips and hearts

And everything shall be as it was before.

    From your lips to humanity's ears! I just had this very conversation with my granddaughter this morning. Saying to her, "You are not allowed to hate someone for something they can never change, their race." Well done.

    Shades of MLK. Nicely done.
