No Foreigner Only Family Quotes

“An Immigrant's Plight (The Sonnet) With hopes and dreams brimming in my heart, I have traveled across miles and miles. A single desire for a flame of acceptance, Still burns bright in my heart's aisle. You say home is where the heart is, But my heart is accused of difference. Sometimes I'm accused of faith or race, Other times they question my allegiance. Amidst the illusive fog of color and geography, When did humanity cease mattering most! Sentiments and dreams have no borders, Character isn't exclusive to any single coast. We’ve wasted enough time on labels and covers, It's time to be family filling the world with colors.”

“Other Side of This Sonnet On the other side of this sonnet, There is a land most bright. In that land of inclusion and unity, People are strolling without fright. They walk, speak, run and play, Without being accused of difference. They celebrate life with love and delight, In someone's need they rush in alliance. Plenty though their paths may be, Their sense of community has no label. They have their differences surely, Which makes them a species most able. Now that we've arrived at the other side, It’s time we become that people forthright.”

“Into The Eyes of Racism (A Sonnet) I looked into the eyes of racism, All I found was insecurity. I looked into the eyes of prejudice, All I found was pretend sanity. I looked into the eyes of bigotry, All I found was savage inanity. I looked into the eyes of hate, All I found was delusion of purity. I looked into the eyes of disparity, All I found was mindless conformity. I looked into the eyes of apathy, All I found was spineless vanity. I looked a lot and observed plenty, It's time to burn bright against brutality.”
