Let's get it started...community building and more.

Make A Stand

when will we raise a voice
make a choice?
use our vote?
help the homeless
and disadvantaged?

when will we make a stand?
make a choice?
go to the polls on 11/02/04?

we gotta do something
don’t stand by as victims
and don’t let our human kindness
drift away in river of
lazy excuses

we got to show the children
who look up to us
as people who morals
are more than BET videos,
and who wore the best dress
at the various award shows

take a stand
for human kindness
hold your community up
and stop letting violence take over
our streets

assist the police
instead of keeping secrets
in hearts that are afraid to beat

we got to stand up
or our voices will never carry
they will never be heard
they will be drown in the neighborhood
as another child
is taken away
and our village becomes more barren

we must make a stand
use your hands
to hand out flyers
encouraging the village
to become involved
and no longer
accept muteness as
a choice

make a stand
make a stand
or this land will
become one of
quiet lakes rivers and streams
because no one
is standing up
for their rights
and our rights
will flow down
away
never to return again
