they killed the dreamer
but not the dream
change indeed has flowed
beyond her river's banks
how proud yet sad ye must be
unity yes in streams
while distance lays wide open
in fields of perpetual
misunderstanding
hate still makes her tracks
in some men's hearts
and distrust lays in wait in others
we are united yes under one banner
we stand as American
but divided by some landscapes of hate
yet thats why I feel even more so that
Mr. Obama has resurrected the dream
and Americans are quick to heal
nicks, scrapes, gouges, scars and even
noose bruisings of another era
finally
America will step away from her
hateful, hurtful past
a whole and better country
with all citizens proud of their
diversified heritage
while backing a candidate of such grace
who just so happens to be black
while behind him his counter part
a strong, white, for the people, fair
woman
be proud America you fostered and formed
these two amazing individuals
in the churning of your embarrassing youth
and growing pains
Dr. King said We Will Over Come
now I believe we can shout
in many ways
WE HAVE Over Come
and blessedly in more ways than one
I sing
let the rejuvenation of our GREAT AMERICA
begin
whether its come November or even better yet
come now..........
