Fifty years and much
has changed
Yet much remains the
same
We stayed locked
inside these classes
As the masters rule
the game
A shadow of a nation
That could have been
the best
Until that dream is
realized
My soul will never
rest
Until everyone is
equal
Until everyone is
free
Where no child lives
with hunger
As it was meant to be
Until no one’s life
is valued
By the color of their
skin
When greed gives way
to kindness
And what matters lies
within
Until we learn that
love is love
Until we live in
peace
Until we’ve learned
these lessons
The struggle cannot
cease
Until we live in
harmony
And set aside our
fears
I only hope it doesn’t
take
Another fifty years
