As I looked down the street 

I saw a beautiful young lady.

On the other side was a man

 

Black

and single maybe.

 

He waves to her like neighbors

they were,

She said "Hey! Right here..

will you marry me?"

"Yes!" he said.

 

Down the street months later

they made their vows

and said their "I do's"

I cried and jumped

I was in their love too.

 

Days later down the street I saw

 

Her

screaming and yelling

 

and I saw him angrily swearing!

 

Silence.

"I'm sorry" they said.

 

Then I learned something

They could never unite if they weren't 

different.

They could never join hands

If they didn't have one of their own.

 

We are frail.

We shatter because we

              Can

unite.

We  f i g h t  because we 

              Can

be friends.

 

When we unite, we become stronger

A chemical bond inseparable 

Forever!

 

United we strive

In ignorance we die.

We are different and that's why

we can be united.

 

That's the America I strive for.
