ClimbingBacktotheMountainTop
ByReemMansy
Whytreateachotherdifferently, Whilewecantreateachotherequally?
Whybasesomeonebythecoloroftheir skin,
Andwhyjumptoanegativeconclusion?
WhyshouldIbelabeleddifferentlythan you, AlthoughIamhuman,too?
WeareallbornequalonthisEarth, Andwehavebeenhumansinceour birth.
Wemaynotallhavethesameface, Butweareallpartofthehumanrace.
Weshouldallcommittoanendeavor, Whichistoallworktogether.
Weshouldallstrivefortyrannytocease, Becauseequalityisthekeytopeace.
Nomorepeopleshouldbeshot, Andnomorelivesshouldbelost.
Letuswastenomoreenergy, Andletusfulfilthisdreamwithsynergy.
Wemustallacceptoneanother, Andweshouldallguideeachother.
Letusnotjudge, Andletusholdnogrudge.
Letusallowcompassiontosinkin, Andletusrememberthatweareall kin.
Ihaveonlyonedesire, Itisforequalitytobeacquired.
Letusnotdiscriminate, Becausethatisanactwemust eliminate.
Letusrememberthosewhocame beforeus, Especiallythosewhowerejust.
LetusrememberMartinLutherKing. Hecalledout“letfreedomring!”
Letourjourneyforequalitynotstop, Aswemakeourwaybacktothe mountaintop.

Yettheyneverheardthelastwordsofthefirst victim,

Noneofthiswouldchangetheir minds

Andtheirheartswillneverfeel, Becauseforlove,thereisan impermeableseal.
