I Was Never Good At Division......
I can not do what you can do, for the law prohibits me
I must be of a certain age, to partake in that degree
However, that day will come. And mature is what we will be
Adjoining the same level and eye to eye is what we will see
My house is smaller and not as nice
My clothes, they're older and shopping is your vice
However, you will soon realize, that money isn't all it is cracked up to be
and that is when I will meet you and eye to eye is what we will see
I am a woman, so I can not work
You are a man using sexism as your perk
However, all we need is faith. On something, we can agree
And that is when we'll triumph and eye to eye is what we'll see
I am black and you are white. We represent two different things
I sit in back while you are up front, all the animosity it brings
However, braving what we fear becomes the missing key
Banning racism together, and eye to eye is what we will see
You live there in your mansion, with your butler and your maid
While I am living off of foodstamps trying to get financial aid
However, there is a way around it. On this I do guarantee
You have to see the human inside, and look past their poverty
I am from India and you from New York
You eat lots of hotdogs and I can not eat pork
However, to blend these two cultures and get them to not disagree
They must learn to be open and eye to eye is what they'll see
I believe in God and go to church
But you do not, nor do you research
However, accepting all religions, I say this now upon thee
together as one, and eye to eye is what we'll be
You went to college and I got pregnant
You got an education while I got an infant
However, that is when we came together. Talking about what we would be
We both said we wanted kids, as two parents eye to eye is what we see
Your parents told you I was different, and made you stray away
I tried to tell you they were wrong, they were prejudice in every way
However, because my friendship you missed. You knew that it was free
You realized it was petty, and eye to eye is what we see
They say ignorance is bliss, it can keep you from being bigheaded
It kept you from loving, learning, accepting - that is what it did
However, a life of sadness brought you misery
and made you realize - eye to eye is what you wanted to see...

Worldwide Proposal
Watching the news
I am disgusted inside
I wanna take away
the killers stride
the rapers pride
the hurt worldwide
I want each tear I shed
to give back and mend
reach out my hand
I have a heart to lend
a message to send
nationalities to blend
is the value of life that complex?
that hard to progress
accept and appreciate
are the qualities I posses
and blessed to compress
LOVING ALL is what I confess
let children learn their way
give them their rightful chance
to grow, respect and seek diversity
let their hearts dance
their minds enhance
it's the children of the world that need to advance
Let us come together a family of one
drop the hate
communicate
appreciate
do not procrastinate
take the gift that was given to you
spread it
shed it
feel it, breath it, eat it, drink it
just a little thing called love.

A Divine Creator
Creator:
You made the sky
You made the sun
You made the earth
You made us one
Created all things
That do exist
But watch out world
Here is the twist
Maybe...
The reason why
We often disagree
GOD to YOU
Is of a different degree
Maybe who you're praying to
And who might answer your prayers
Is really someone else
Like one of GODS heirs
One way or another
It resorts to the main BEING
And I wouldn't be surprised
If you're already disagreeing
But open your mind
And take a look around
Other people are BELIVING
Different faiths they have found
Acceptance is the key
To live happily
And free
Being broad-minded
Has always reminded
Me, not to be binded
Understanding
That others like you
Have a belief of their own
Is something I can definitely construe
And in the end
Isn t that what belief really is?
I believe that something exists
Something that created all this
I believe they have an arrangement of men
To look over and guide us, time and time again
I believe in others believing
Even if it is different than what I am perceiving
And I believe that is what we need
In order to move forward and succeed
