I Dream A Dream
I dream of a world where
no one goes to bed hungry
Every child born is safe in
the arms of his family
I dream of a world where
leaders negotiate and agree
On matters that matter
for the sake of humanity.
I dream of a place where
communities share
The bounties of the fields
and the glades, fair
I dream of housing dens
with rooftops of clean air
With playgrounds for
children away from danger.
I dream of leaders of nations
who lay down the laws
To govern their constituents
in equanimity and equality
I dream of a time when
hegemony is a heinous crime
When all nations have set
their meets and bounds.
I dream of a world where the
seas and oceans are kept free
Free, beyond anyone's
control and dominion,
Declare it a common nautical
highway for you and me
Protect sea resources from
overfishing thru illegal means.
I dream of nations coming to
terms in friendly competition
In food production and
health, and in medication
Where cultures are preserved
for everyone's edification
The pursuit of knowledge is
the core of men's erudition.
I dare to dream of a world
amidst racial discrimination,
Threats of nuclear wars that
will cause men's annihilation
I live in a dream-like world
where climate change rolls
This one last dream I dream,
I pray, will change the world.
