A Ray of Hope

They say it's hatred

But who cares,

about a person being betrayed?

Pain overcomes...

It has filled our lungs.

Just because of...

Discrimination!

We got a glimpse of happiness.

In our dreams...

But we know, we weren't in all the realms.

To outperform we had sworn, 

But "lack of support" was a thorn.

We had to do every job, 

To save every bread's loaf.

Respect is no more...

Discrimination shook us to the core.

We try, we cry...

But one day we will

For our wounds, this would be a pill.

We will be brave

And won't be naïve

Power would come,

Dignity would follow...

Our dreams won't be hollow

Strength will overcome, 

not pain.

They say "There is a ray of hope!"

And we believe...

We know it takes time 

But trying is not a crime...
