I have a dream, one cried.
to subjugate and sully
the lives of all those
who are not like me.
——
I have a dream, two cried.
to bully and bait each and
everyone who cannot be
treated in my equality.
—–
I have a dream, the third said,
to have power and control,
to be like the man at the
head who takes all he wants.
—————
I have a dream, the fourth said,
to be at the forefront and free
myself from the shackles of
morality and dependancy.
———–
They each tread their dream
on the backs of others and
ignore the cries of the child
and the downtrodden oppressed.
And they live fearful lives full
of lies and injustice and wars;
bringing unhappiness to their
greedy, opulent, grabbing hearth.
—————–
I have a dream, a voice cried,
where no one is less than, and
no one is stepped on and no
one is abused, no one is bullied,
incited and no one is without.
——————-
I have dream, said another,
where each child has a childhood,
they each eat three meals a day,
they are safe and loved and
become the best they can be.
————–
I have a dream, came quietly,
of a world where no one flees,
no one makes wars or weapons,
everywhere justice and peace
meet together; and hatred and
avarice are swallowed by love.
—————-
Trodden pathways of hope and
to those seeing the good in all
peace comes to comfort them,
as they seek to listen and learn
then truth will tread their path.
As they join against injustice
mercy will be their measure.
As they reach out hands to
those in trouble – then they will
find that truth, peace and mercy
will dwell in their hearth.
