I had a dream and in that dream a child wasn't born
a child did not exsist
a child whose would have been Martin Luther King Jr.
In this dream Rosa Parks stayed in her jail cell
because no one wanted to fight for there rights as humans.
Malcom X was not enlightened and
continued urging hateful atrocites towards whites and whoever stood in their way.
Whites saw blacks as savages
and were undeserving to be in there presence.
Many activist woulda-been couldn't be.
Negros only allowed to use facilities
marked with there universal name "COLORED"
In this dream little white kids would call a black man of any age "boy".
In this dream blacks would prove whites right
when they call us barbarians by there violent protest and looting.
In this sad, sad dream many black children grew accustomed
to viewing all whites as the ultimate evil.
Many black kids never recieved a good education.
White children were chastised if caught talking to a "negro".
Klu Klux Klan members were the common judges and police officers in the town.
In this horrid dream the earth Screamed with the blood of negroes lost.
This dream showed me a world of separation without comprehension.
When people didn't look beyond the color of you skin
instead the color of you soul.
When a man name Martin Luther King didn't help us realize
that we could look beyond ourselves But in the hearts of others.
Where this man,
this entity of peace and freedom,
didn't live his life devoted to making his dream of peace a reality.
I can gladly say that this is just a dream.
That these great people did live
and although most were killed before seeing deserved freedom,
they were already free in mind and spirit.
As the King had once said
"I have made to the mountain top and I have seen freedom."

Dedicated to:
those who live there lives to save ours.
