A great Rap for the AADAP Dream Mural

More on the AADAP Dream mural:
When interviewing the applicants wanting to assist in creating this mural we asked what kinds of things they enjoyed drawing or painting. Landscapes? People? Buildings? Animals?
All but one agreed to at least one of the above. But Luis was different. He admitted that he didn't really like to create any of the visual arts. I thought for a minute and asked "What would you do if you could do anything?" He said he likes music but doesn't play anything.
I waited.... then he said "Rap" "I like to rap".
Amazing, that's exactly what we needed. Someone who has a love for words, to make a connection between the past and the future.
This "Dream" rap is what Luis wrote. He has a gift with words.
Once again, creation is a gift of love.
