A Freestyle Piece: America Only Told Me - 3/8/11

"America only told me that I have an opportunity. Society told me I wouldn't. Racism told me I couldn't. My peers told me I shouldn't. Television said it would happen without effort, and to depend on what I see. Radio told me opinions are facts, and to depend on what I hear. The Internet says whatever anyone wants it to. The message is clear: seek guidance within; follow the faith placed in me. The soul knows best."

-A. Lewis
