A Shared Dream

I dream of a world With no persecution Execution Demolition Only production Repair We must repair What is now torn Or lost I dream of a world With no racial tension Black or white Asian or Island Nation vs. Nation None of these matter Stereo types and expectations Assumptions and preparations I dream of a world Where a person is a person No Negro No Caucasian Just human A living, breathing In-the-making Human After all Is one’s life completed on one’s own? No God gave us life For us to fulfill To persecute? Is that what he wanted? God created man Not the white man Not the black man But man We are each unique But still all the same I dream of a world Where man does not discriminate No violence No crime A silence for peace This world that I dream of Is just beneath us Not far Not impossible It is there Maybe King meant more to I HAVE A DREAM Than we may think Let’s make this A shared dream And let’s make this shared dream A shared new world.
