The Dream

He went to the mountain The spirit lifted his soul to the top. He saw all children standing hand in hand, Paying no mind to the color of ones' skin. They were celebrating the diversity of their cultures While realizing what made them different made them the same. He saw the dream was in the future and cried with the knowledge, Someday the dream will be realized. He knew that the rights of a people was the major issue, But sustainment of life was the reason for the rights. He was on the path, putting out fires along the way When another thought a different course of action was right. Out of nowhere a single hot lead projectile was on course For the man who had a dream. A single strike and the man was silent. The people wept, mourn the loss of their light. The dream was put aside. People who shared his vision took up the call. The dream grows stronger each day. Sometime in the future, maybe not so far away People will look at each other for the goodness inside And not the color of ones' skin.
