~*I Have A Dream*~

Like the late great Martin Luther King,
I have a dream.

That girls would stop tryin' to grow up so fast,
that they live their lives and make them last.
That boys would pick up books and ignore the streets,
that they realize lifes to short to beef.
That woman would stop putting up with abuse,
that they use their mind and not an excuse.
That black men stop blaming the white man for thier problems,
that they use an education and solve them.

I Have a Dream...

That children everywhere could go out in play,
without worries of what may happen that day.
That women and girls could walk at night without fear,
without having someone take there diginity and leave them with nightmares.
That all criminals serve thier time,
that one day we'll live without crime.
That everyone looks at the next as an equal,
that we realize that we're all people.

I Have a Dream...

That people would no longer have to go hungry,
that all billionaire realize they can share their money.
That homeless find a place to rest thier heads,
that they're not on bus stop but beds.
That they find cures for all that have an illness,
that I wouldn't have to write this list...

I Have a Dream...
