I Have a Dream

I have a dream I can see it so clear Almost like a film Only its not so rare Not like Luther' I fear Not whites with blacks In the same sacks Eating and drinking At the same table. My dream is simple- To see black and black Bend their backs And get to work With love in their hearts And hope in their mind To see blacks all over the land Unite for common good And secure the future For generations yet unborn. I dream of a new nation Flowing with milk and honey Free for all to share and enjoy A land of peace and stability Where hard work and honesty Are essential virtues! From the Niger to the Sahara Across Rwanda and Uganda Down to the sunny city of cape town All around the globe Every where black is represented! Then I will smile and say- I'm proud am black A Nigerian without apologies! Yes! I have a dream.

I understand your perspective Donna. However many felt the same way about Luther's dream but it saw the light of day so trust me I ain't gonna stop dreaming!
