Poetry
Equal and United
Unrest and racial tension
fills our land with hate
Some they choose to stoke it
Prejudice they create
Riots in the streets
Protests gone awry
All because emotions
Can't sort the real from lies
Our justice is on trial
When will the good prevail
And tear down racial barriers
For truth to be revealed
We are a nation of laws
When broken there's a price
Regardless of skin's color
It's neither black nor white
The hope is that true justice
Will bring a lasting peace
And we all come together
And put unrest at ease
We're all created equal
One nation under God
So let's put aside all hatred
And take up the mantle of love
We're one united country
With liberty so grand
Let's not lose what we'd gained
It's time to take a stand
United we're victorious
Divided we're doomed to fall
Together we can accomplish
Truth and justice for all
Though we don't understand
The things that tests our resolve
But one thing is for certain
They can be overcome by love
