Liberation Day Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Someday I will wake up to see
A world that is totally free
Free of bigotry and slavery
Free of the evil in you and me
Someday I will wake up to smell freedom
I will pray to one day be in His Kingdom
I will fold my hands go down on my knees and say:
Thank You Heavenly Father for this Freedom Day
Someday I will wake up to hear songs of joy
Revisit Christmas Day and that special toy
I will shed tears of joy and thank mom and dad
And remember that my life wasn't all that bad
Someday I will wake up and taste liberty
Unlock cuffs and shackles quelling you and me
I will rise stand tall and scream to them all:
Lay down your knives and guns lest we all fall
Someday I will wake up and touch the humanity in you and me
I will thank God for sending us strength and dignity to set us free
I will shed tears of grief for all those children who didn't have to die
And try to understand why so very young mom and dad had to say: Bye
But for now I'm on pins and needles with all the lunacy injustice and lack of
sanity
Every day and night I ask the Heavenly Father about the evil in you and me
I pray that God puts an end to all the racism indignity and immorality
And that one day His heavenly children will show us the peaceful way to setting
us all free
Vaya con Dios, mis amigos
