I Had A Dream
I had a dream, where our misery would end For our suffering and pain to come to an end I found a magic wand Then I fast forward 100 years
One hundred years later, the Negro still isn’t free They live on islands loaded with richness He still rules our land The White is ontop of American society
They told us we were all equal They still gave the White people checks We refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt It’s time to lift our nation to the solid rock of brother
America will be restless and without tranquility until the Negro is granted citizenship rights Don’t seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from a cup of bitterness and hatred There’s still time to change our views we must rise to majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
I had a dream I had a wish Freedom from from the curvaceous slopes of California To Stone Mountain in Georgia
She grabbed my hand And I grabbed hers From the words of the old Negro spiritual we sing “Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

This piece was inspired by Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech. His powerful words inspired me to remix his speach and words into my own poem "I Had A Dream"
