Dreams of a Second-Class Citizen

I dream of a divine world 
where i could be free
where freedom has the greatest of names
projecting sweet liberty, heart strong democracy
man made morality

too whose authority! 
we place in each other 
and in this great enlightenment 
we the people 
dared to be free
 
Now! in the eye's of our children 
all men and woman a like 
can strand up, as equal partners
with a better life and liberty 
forged in codes of conduct  
too let not our freedom 
take us over 
but to have a define 
place on the greater good!

well! its just a dream of a  Second class  citizen
