"I Had a Dream"by Hilton Hines
This dream was so peaceful and serene, We were living though the visions of Dr. Martin Luther King. I had a dream, I visualized that every boy and girl was taught to be friends, And race is what they run for fun, Not the color of skin. I had a dream That man had never created deadly diseases, There was no crying nor dying From cancer, AIDS or Hepatitis C, There was no hunger and starvation From the USA to Africa And Africa wasn't stripped Of gold, diamonds and oil By no good scavengers. I dreamed That there were no wars. Love and peace was the plan. We destroyed nuclear plants And purified our lands. I dreamed Osama bin Ladin came out' Of hiding like a real man. He knew Allah wouldn't justify His evil commands. I had a dream We didn't have currency, Taxes nor inflation, No armies, only schools And colleges for higher education. We didn't lie or cheat, We made our own clothes, Grew our own food: You had to work to eat. I had a dream We were all rich but In our hearts not our pockets, There were no such things As computers, lasers or rockets. I had a dream That this world had Forgotten about color, We all loved one another As sisters and brothers. I had a dream We came together as one From the USA, Iraq, Cuba to Afghanistan and George Bush Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro Hugged and shook hands. I had a dream. |
