Look at me and tell me what you see?



Look at me and tell me what you see?
A young man who live in a society of Hate.
Look at me and tell me what you see?
A young man striving to be free.
Look at me and tell me what you see?
A life of liberty; but for who, You or Me?
Look at me and tell me what you see?
A society of people trying to stay away from me.
Look at me now and tell me what you see?
So many years of the political society beating on me.
Look at me now and tell me what you see?
A young man trying to build his family tree.
Look at me now and tell me what you see?
I see a young man swimming in a sea of dreams.
Look at me now and tell me what you see?
A man struggling in another man's country.
Now close your eyes and listen to me,and I will tell you what I see.
AN IMAGE OF A BLACK MAN,TRYING TO BE FREE.
