Per Mare Per Terras

The Dream Lives On

I dedicated this poem for Black History Month 

 

Like complex wallpaper without the lex

Add white in the mix 

Melt the pot when they tax the rich 

Oh wait it\'s only the mid and it becomes real when you become that convict

Like an arrow they shoot to pierce

No hesitation they strike to fear

When the dream comes we persevere

Honestly it feels like a melting pot in here

The heart is where you feel

The brain is where you build

It\'s like a neighborhood in the hills

Marching just to pay the bill

They just wanted you to stay out pic

So we gathered the kings

While wearing our wings 

He gave a speech

Then shots went off and killed our king

But we kept the dream and kept our means

All we wanted was a chance to breathe
