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.
