We The People

We the people
For which I speak
Are born of injustice
For which I weep

We the people
Stand tall and proud
With the weight of the world
Trying to hold us down

We the people
Striving to achieve
A dream that seemed
So hard to believe

We the people
With only one vote
Achieved the dream
With thoughts to provoke

We the people
Realizing our dreams
Stripped from our ancestors
Many years in between

We the people
So far, yet so near

We the people
No longer in fear

I haven't visited my blog in a while. I guess I've been caught up in life's journey. The thought above was written after the election of Barack. I felt so many emotions during the process and this was the culmination of all that emotion.
