By Patrice D. Wilkerson

It’s 3 am and I just can’t sleep
My thoughts run heavy and oh so deep
I’m disgusted by the hellacious things going on
All the hatred and violence is too far gone
It’s so sad to see the world in such a negative light
Why can’t we all get along, black and white
Let’s all come together and change the world peacefully
Lean not on what you have been taught, instead treat others equally
We should show love to one another regardless of their race
United we stand to make the world a better place
