He Had a Dream...


He had a dream… To change the nation. He had a dream… To take away the categorization. He had a dream… That hands would be shaken. He had a dream… That his people would stop being taken. He didn’t dream… Of the blood that would be spilt. He didn’t dream… Of the haunting feeling of guilt. He didn’t dream… Of being shot. He didn’t dream… Of his people feeling distraught. He didn’t dream… Of death. But his dream… Made our nation take a breath
