I 2 Have a Dream

i 2 have a dream

That one day

The poor will have enough
to eat and change to spare

Every child has both a 
mother and father

And clean water to drink

And the sad and bleak

Who endlessly and soley
write about being sad and
put upon

Can find that certain missing 
peace and happiness

To make the whole world
including them

Smile so broadly 
even the unfortunate  

For just a single second 

See the darkened clouds
dissipate

And tunnel end illuminate

Free to love the world at last
outside this pressure cooker
looking glass

Devoid of sadness nullified

By unbridled glee and joy
happy thoughts

Where not only the fittest survive

But every species on earth
thrives

And escape this existential
perpetual nightmare
