Curtis Johnson Poet Free verse

A Dream

Let there be no hidden or disguised facades
Let there be achievable dreams; not hopeless mirages
Let there be no sorry but sunny days of happy faces
Let there be no hatred and separation between the races
Let there be an abundance of bright lights and starry starry nights

Let there be a fully promoted and always protected Bill of Rights
Let there not be assaults of, but encouragement of Free Enterprise
Let there be more Term Limits of politicians and less special privileges
Let there be the exaltation of the individual
Let there be the expansion of Entrepreneurship 
Let there be no loss but multiplied gains of greatness

May politicians always be servants of, and not superior to the people
May I not be afraid of 'my government', but may it be 'afraid of me'
May the constitution be upheld, and all religions free to teach and tell
May justice be freely served and never a mortal abused or unnerved
May the Bible not be seen as a threat, but a friendly guide to paradise
May every American be filled with hope, and duly take note;
America's future and hope lie far above and beyond the vote

James Inman August 10, 2023 at 8:44 AM Well written Curtis and what a beautiful dream of which to aspire. I like many of your points, such as term limits. The world was a different place when the US Constitution was produced. Luckily, after Roosevelt reluctantly decided to run for office a third time during World War II, breaking the unwritten law set by Washington after serving for two terms, Congress, in their wisdom chose to limit the president to two terms, which is why the Constitution is a powerful document, its flexibility. Curtis Johnson June 24, 2026 at 2:44 PM Thanks, James.

Michelle Morris August 9, 2023 at 10:05 AM Lovely poem. It's definitely a dream many of us have for the world. But if it can start with the most powerful countries in the world, like the USA, all the better. Stay blessed and keep dreaming and achieving. :-) Curtis Johnson June 24, 2026 at 2:46 PM Thank you, Michelle.
