I Had a Dream

I had a dream that you and I

Ruled the Earth with an iron fist.

Everyone was bent to our whim and

Waited on our hand and feet.

People respected us.

We sat upon chairs made

Out of solid gold, with our heads

Held high and our shoulders squared

And our gazes steady and firm ahead.

Never again would we have to wait in line.

Never again would we be made fun of and pestered

For who we were and what we looked like.

The world was ours and we could do with it what

we  pleased.
