Imagine a World

Kelsy Smith

Imagine a world where the damsel wasn’t in distress;

A world where the girl saved the guy.

A world with none oppressed.

A world where Black lives actually mattered,

And our injustice system was terminally shattered.

Imagine a world where grades had no relevance;

Where tests would not define my intelligence.

A world where all Arabs and Muslims weren't

blanket deemed terrorist,

And white supremacy groups weren't so nefarious.

Imagine a world where my natural hair was accepted,

Where black men was respected,

And the female populous unaffected

by constant stereotypes

of being selected as “weak” and “soft.”

Is such a world too hard to imagine?

That's tragic,

But maybe one day it can happen.
