Note: this was actually something i wrote for a class. I don't know if it would be classified as poetry but it's pretty close.

I hope one day everything will change
Ignorance will fall to the concept of understanding
That someday people will be praised
Not ridiculed for their unique qualities
That someday the land of the free will be truly free
Free to express new thoughts without fear of rejection
Free to be who you really are
Not who others want you to be
I hope that someday people will realize
That self acceptance is the first step to being accepted
That one day people will recongize
Trying to gain attention at all costs is not the way
And that negative attention only leads to exclusion
That one day men and women, black and white
Will stand together
Regardless of differing beliefs
Standing together as a species, a family
United not under god
But under one ideal: tolerance
Tolerance for others
For race, religion and creed
Taking time to get to know people
Not just a half attempt
But really get to know them and their intricacies
Get behind the walls
The real person behind the mask
That someday bombs will stop dropping
That senseless violence will end
That the rediculous killing of others for their thoughts
Will stop
They say time heals all wounds
I just hope we have enough time
