Jefferson's Dreams

Reasons and rights, Times of the day, OK to kill, But not to pray. Our schools Teach peace, Freedom, and love, Just definitions, Just spell the words. What happened here To Jefferson's dreams? 'Blacks are idiots, Kill em'' we scream. Our children They see The way we behave; So we don't let them think, We make them all slaves, We keep the status quo, Just one more day. Reasons and rights, Times of the day, What happens to life If man turns away? Does our science Bring us closer, or farther apart? And did we forget about love Cause we learned how hate starts?
