I wrote this for a conference last year at this organization called Diversity Awareness Initiative for students. I felt it was very appropriate for the occasion and is also appropriate for society today in general.
We Are Family
This is for my brothers, not the regular ode for one specific group
because we are all brothers, just making you realize what's under,
what's under this molded society that beats us like thunder, the
society that makes us all question and wonder but, the answer was
always in front of us.
This is for my Hispanics, my blacks, Asians, whites and all, the world
around us metaphorically making walls between each other so we
dissipate from our success. Although one can achieve great, with team
work we can change the world.
We are all brothers no tricks and tricksters won't forget about my
sisters we are all family. Something hard to grab, but let me open
your eyes make you realize what we all have accomplished.
For instance yes we finally did it, a black president already making a
difference but, just a baby step. We are the future climbing up that
ladder for a more successful world. Remember this. Life is a climb
but, the view is great determination takes us to that place but we
must have patience. Statements like these are just hypothesis and we
are the living experiment of this... The. How... What...why.. How is
what everyone asks ourselves but, forget all that stop and just think.
It is us... We together who will impact the world we live in... We who
make the future. Forget all the negative assumtpions, broken functions
searching for that meaning that something that will lead to
greatness...the key is determination and patience my sisters and
brothers, to uncover our paths that will open a world of great
possibilities. Discrimination is our downfall. Never was really
because of the color of our skin, but always was our insecurities
within. But why be insecure when you can feel at home with your
family. The people around you regardless of their backrounds or skin
color we need to grow again. Through history we have grown through
evolution but, along the way forgot the solution that made us. we
forgot that we came from the same home. We are family. When we work
together we can reach the highest climate whether if it's to go green,
sometimes we hit a bump in the road and categorize us makes us look so
mean, but enough of that we should ressurect our inspiration go team.
Our minds will do many great things but, it is our hearts that are our
crutches.... Our crutches that make us stronger from each mistake. We
simply stop and take a deep breathe. We are family my brothers and
sisters the world is ours just reach out through our chest oh yes this
is for my brothers and sisters. We are family and together we can
change the world.
