THE LOWE DOWN: My Word
Follow
I had a dream the other night, haven’t you heard,
it’s a story about destiny, that’s my word
In this story, children are well fed, their parents hardworking,
their journey’s fulfilled, their peace undisturbed,
love is abundant, that’s my word
Like doctors we pledge to do no harm and in addition,
sound an alarm to those that aim to strip our voices and crush
our humanity, we move with intensity to disarm
My dream does allow for free speech, different perspectives and
multiple motivators, but the goal must be positive, the aim
forward thinking, the results tangible and all negativity held at bay
and manageable
Words can sometimes be just that, but my dream involves other
dreamers with ideas and skill sets of their own, thoughts
that when intertwined with action, create a force that’s unstoppable
and infallible
What I need now is more recruits, more resources and most of all
more dedicated souls to ensure that our young nation can
finally stop having their dreams deferred, that’s my word!
