I was there
Folder:
Life I’m clear for clear can’t be seen.
I’m not black or white or even something in between.
I too have a history.
I have been beaten by these wars, and abused for so long.
When the Blacks was taken and put into slavery, I was there…
When the Whites took over the land of the Indians and killed them with their foreign diseases…I was there…
When the Mexican gave up their land to United States, so the US can have more states…I was there…
When the Spaniards came to that Island to steal the gold, and named it Rich Port, known today as Puerto Rico…I was there…
When Columbus happened to bump into several countries, because he navigated drunk...I was there…
When Jesus gave Moses the Ten Commandments…I was there…
When Rosa Parks refused to give up her sit for the white people superiority…I was there…
When Hitler ordered the Jews to be genocide…I was there…
When Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made I had a Dream speech…I was there
When Fidel Castro took over Cuba…I was there…
When Pearl Harbor was attacked…I was there…
When 9/11 occurred…I was there…
When Vietnam soldiers never made it back home…I was there…
When Harriet Tubman fell on her knees to be free…I was there…
When every day thousands of children are dying from hunger…I’m always there…
I’m not God, but the same thing that we all need, the same thing we can’t live without…
We all function the same way internally…Heart pumps the blood, and lungs makes us breath…
I’m clear as the air for it was always there, but you never bothered to realize its existence.
I breathe the air that as been through history…the air in 1200AD I’m breathing in 2005…and for the rest of my life. Discrimination and racism is a choice…the air is not…
Stop wasting the air with nasty words of hate…One day the air will be taken away…then what will you have to say?
