True American Dream

True American Dream

Maybe I am white 
And maybe you are black 
Maybe it’s an issue 
But I still got your back 

Even if I’m a woman 
Even as you’re a man 
We’re in this together 
To come up with a plan 

The greatest thing in the world 
Is us working together 
Through thick and thin 
Walking through uncertain weather 

Some days are dark 
And many days have lows 
We can can take whatever 
This harsh life throws 

My point isn’t equality 
Even though that’s what it may seem
My point is together-ness
That’s the American Dream

I am not American but I do still love the sentiments expressed in this poem. Togetherness needs to be a world wide thing if we are ever to live in harmony. I love your poem, Harley. Well written x
