Dream

I saw the president laugh I thought I saw a mask I laughed too Not for it was a worthy laugh I could not hide my joy. I thought it meant better times Jobs for the jobless aimless youths Food for the hopeless helpless lot Even more for the haves. I thought it meant freedom Brought new wisdom Ushered a new kingdom Safe from the venomous fangs of the world. I thought it meant peace No more wars With Foes No more hurt and heart sores No more less, just more and more. More food to feed all More clothes to clothe all More medicine to cure all more classrooms to accommodate all More reasons to stand tall As one Nation One people One soil. All I saw in the laugh. Was a happy nation Before I woke up.
