I HAD A DREAM
I had a dream about the world
that it was light
without a trace
of evil, of
darkness and
pollution
only the freshness of air and
the tolerance of nature existed
and it was wonderful
to be alive
I had a dream about the sun
it's rays extend to one and all
no race, no creed
was spared from
warmth
the sun embraced the entire
surface of the earth
and it was bright
but did not burn the skin
I
had a dream about a race
that it was black
in figure and face
but then, no one would discriminate
only brotherhood
would emanate
and it felt good to walk hand-in-hand
with all the creatures of the earth
I had a dream about a
man
whose force was strong
and principles were fair
who had the spirit of wild flowers
who feared nothing
and
feared not then to dream
and he stood for the good and the right
and he was not afraid to fight
I
had a dream about a dream
alas! only to be awakened
by sharp screams that wrecked the senses
and then I realized
that
he was gone,
felled by cruel men with angry bullets
but his dream lives on
and all that he stood for
shall
never be forgotten.....
