I Have a Dream

A great storm was brewing Large numbers queuing Thunderstorms rolling, lightning blazed Throngs of people held spellbound, amazed Trees swayed with arms raised Nature too had joined in praise Sceptics unable to accord him such praise It was Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" address.

Awesome poem and I love that you bring attention to Dr. King's "I have a dream speech"in that last line. It is just as relevant now as it was in the 1960s. Great write!
