One Day
One day, those who have been dismissed to the shadows will see the sun again in all it's glory.
One day, those whose origins have followed them like demons in the night, will arise and face the past as conquerors.
One day, these oceans of ignorance and fear will recede, and humanity will bridge the gap between haves and have-nots.
One day, I will not need a substance to open my mouth and speak about what I truly love.
One day, the world WILL change, and those who have been crushed beneath the weight of a thousand wailing voices will awaken.
One day, you and I will stand on the brink of a world without the need to succeed at the expense of someone else's livelihood.
One day, we all may be able to look on a new dawn and finally breath in the scent of an unbroken soul.
One day, there will be no need for Saints of Lost Causes, or children picking garbage all over the world.
One day, I will say that I love you, and in so doing, finally achieve my freedom.
