A Brighter Day

a brighter day
is a-coming
to know the meaning
to understand
freedom
to stand like a man
to accept another
beliefs
creeds
color


it's easy to think
every man is a racist
we are capable
of those thoughts
we have a choice
we have a chance
to change
to show dignity
to show respect


closure
departure
the things
I once knew
I go around
with this world
with the people
in it
