Over 22

I have a dream that recurs every night;

Of a life worth living, a future that’s bright,

A world of peace,

where loving and giving;

Lets children play without guns and killing;

I have a dream so vivid and real,

Of a world without fear to speak and feel;

A world to smile at a passing stranger,

Without fear of attack, retaliation or danger.

I have a dream of a clear blue sky,

Without missiles or bombs and the question, Why?

A world where poverty has no place,

Consigned to the history of the human race.

I have a dream where Hope can live,

A world where man has learnt to give.

I have a dream of a life worth living.
