We Are Family (Poem)

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.
