I Have A Dream .. Too

I'm Only 14 , With Some Really Big Dreams. I Want To Achieve My Goals , With or Without A Team. Im Gonna Prove Them Wrong , Because When They See Us , All They See Is " Black " . Im Gonna Show Them That We Have A lot To Show , I'm Gonna Show Them That We Are Much More Than Just That.

They put us ALL in a box , for the things that one does. White man commits a murder, and gets a warning. Black man is seen in a white neighborhood and is quick to be put in front of a judge ? Time steady passing , the hatred getting worse , The Government trying to take over now but didn't say or do anything when Dylan Roof shot up that all black ... Wait a minute neither did they do anything when the Klue Klux Klan killed all of those innocent people including 4 little girls when they burned down that all black church .

You may think that I'm dumb and that to this I don't pay attention . But yes I do pay attention to the things that the school boards never did , and maybe never will mention. With all these hidden messages , y'all fighting over who's gonna get the new Jordan's , and when they gonna drop ? While all of our little ones might grow up being scared of cops ?

Simon says stop . But the cops are still shooting us until our bodies lock and we drop and pop . I honestly think that I'm the only one thats realized that this has gone well over the top. Trust me , they're not saying that " History repeats itself. " for nothing . They see that we know what's going on , they see that we know that they're trying to pull something.

I dream of a better place where they see more than just the color of my skin. I dream of a time where the line between black and white is very very thin . I dream a of a place where on each other is who we all can depend. But if I do this alone , I might as well let my dreams get blown away by the wind.
