I Have a Nightmare

I HAVE A NIGHTMARE I have a nightmare where all people can be gunned down on our streets without regard to the color of their skin I have a nightmare where no one will be safe in their home no matter what part of town they live in I have a nightmare I have a nightmare where no woman can walk down the street after dark and know she will not be harmed I have a nightmare! I have a nightmare where children will have to play inside behind locked doors without regard to their ethnic background I have a nightmare where no person can fix a flat tire without thinking they might be mugged or killed I have a nightmare I have a nightmare where police lie on witness stands to send people they do not like to jail I have a nightmare I have a nightmare I have a nightmare Where no on can go anywhere without proving who they are and what they are doing there. I have a nightmare where searches will be the rule before boarding any airplane to go anywhere. I have a nightmare where nobody cares.
