I am a Dream
That one day was gunned down on the Balcony
In the city of Memphis, In the State of Tennessee
Bluff City, The home of the BLUES
Help is in the slogan but I couldn't find a clue

COLORED is what you made me
WHITE or BLACK we are all slaves see,
Confined ONLY by the shallow thoughts of the mind
Forgive but, never forget the almost forgotten past
Learning life lessons so I don’t fall behind

Learning from the FRONT of the class
Wise mind with divine intentions
I am fortunate to have been blessed
With equal opportunities
Satisfying our thirst
