THE WAKE UP CALL

Dr. King had a dream
Of black and white a team
None a lesser God's child
To be judged not
By their skin's color
But by their character's content.

I have a nightmare
That the color line
Meets the dollar line;
That one is judged
Not only by skin color
But by wallet content
And by level of potent.

Keep the dream alive, my people
But wake me up, Yes! Wake up
Prove wrong my nightmare
That no person declare
'I am more equal'
For the power is in your hands.

Joyce
