Kelley White Commercial It was a day like any other. Crowd at the bus stop. Traffic. Nobody looking at nobody. And I see a boy walking alongside a girl, hands doing that little hip-hop dance thing, and he's saying, "Babe, you know I tell the truth cause I'm a man and I got proof. . ." and a row of uniformed school children pour out the back of a warehouse chanting, "I am young, and I am positive, I have a future, I can be anything. . ." and the side of the bus has an open book: "We real cool. We. . ." Silence. But the transforming wind of the word has swept us clean. We see. We speak beauty and truth before the dark streets shut our voices down again. |
