UNITY NOT SEPARATION

by: David W. Johnson, Jr.

In today’s society, together we could achieve great progress

Far greater lives for our children and ourselves we can build

Instead, we seem to enjoy failures much more than success

Dr. King wanted us to have dreams and see them fulfilled

There is absolutely no gratification for us robbing and raping

Elderly person getting off a bus, we snatch their pocketbook

Time we stop destroying our communities and start reshaping

The destructive things we are doing we best take a good look

There were those times when others, were our worse enemies

These days we are dong more to destroy ourselves than anyone

We find more pleasure in prison numbers than college degrees

Shooting, robbing, selling drugs, molesting children like its fun

In wars, enemies destroy one another but we destroy ourselves

So-called men getting two and three women pregnant at a time

Then they ignore the babies as though they were dolls on shelves

Calling themselves men when they are no more than filthy slime

Sad thing about it, those of us in position to change things are not

Sure, they complain and blame but they will not do anything to help

Adults, we would not have made it without help or have you forgot

Face facts, children has always needed adults along with self-help

Our adults today are good at talking about doing but very slow to act

School systems, churches, after school programs could all use support

Americans are becoming disappointments to their children that is a fact

Due to those disappointment too many children thinking killing is a sport

Adults we must spend less time ignoring the problems and work on solutions

We all know the key to success has never been crime but a good education

Just like Dr. King, working together we could all bring about some resolutions

Senator Barack Obama will give America a chance at, “Unity Not Separation”

Let’s Make 2008 The Year We Unite
