“I have a dream”
A dream buried so deep
Where the sun does not reach it, left to just weep
An American dream that grows in my mind
Such a foolish dream, I must laugh and sigh
“I have a dream”
No justice no peace
Give me Liberty, or give me death
The words that they sing
Ringing in my ears
Engraved in my brain
An American dream, now under its grave
“I have a dream”
To run away safe
From my angry lands, into the arms of the green lady
Who ‘welcomes us all’
Oh what a lie that is
“I have a dream”
To go to sleep safe.
Without worrying about what others will say.
To get good grades and make something of my life
To build a new story, one that I like.
“I had a dream”
To live life fair
With equality everywhere
To follow what the wise fathers said
What they wrote on the papers and posted in my head
“I had a dream”
To change the world
To fix all that’s broken
A new system is born
But I know that here
Deep down in my heart
It’s just Quill and Ink
That’s writing it’s part
The ink may dry and be held up to see
But wounds still are fresh, the words won’t sink
