Unity For Our Beloved Community (a poem)
You don’t know what you don’t know
You can’t lead where you don’t go
If you don’t read you won’t GROW
I know
It can feel hard to work together
It can be hard to fight to make our lives better
But it’s worth it
We have so many hidden commonalities but we can unearth it
If we choose to trust each other before suspicion
If we choose to take America’s promise and give it a new rendition
We can show the world how to multiply unity where there’s division
Where people wanna subtract our culture, you can bring addition
We can bring acceptance where there’s derision
To lead or to follow, what’s your decision?
We need to fight all forms of hate with surgical precision
But we can only do that if we really want to heal
To be upstanders and not bystanders kicking down doors of hate with our heels
When I accept you and you accept me, I love how that feels
So let’s commit to love and learn about one another for real!
