Imagine if we could take a day
and put our talents and intentions into play?
Imagine that.
Imagine if we could---no baby, not sail away,
but take a stand, confront the issues of our day..
Imagine if we took collective action
to remove all obstacles we agree are in our way..
and without regard to how and when they got to where they are;
My Brother,
Imagine if you could lend me your shoulder
--no, not for burdens to bear or tears to cry,
but for pushing.. understand? for pushing--
Imagine that.
Imagine if we could put our minor differences aside,
or better said: if we could bring these things we have in common
to the forefronts of our minds..
and synchronize our passions and actions to coincide
---imagine that, yeah--imagine that.
imagine what we could do---me and you,
I mean really.. what we could affect if we just put our minds to..
Imagine what a difference we could make.
imagine if we decided up front not to be
co-opted or cajoled into any activity that would distract us from our goal..
and if that means missing championship games and superbowls then
imagine if we let it be.. imagine if we made it so.
Imagine if we,
replaced them superbowls with Futurebowls and crowned our kids champions,
and wrote new definitions for the alley-oop and the give-and-go..
put the energy we use for remembering the MVP of 1983
into each one, teach one to succeed.
Imagine what we could be, as a people, as a nation, as a new African society
if only we could imagine that..
and put our talents and intentions into play?
Imagine that.
