as MLK had a dream, so do i
a dream where police shouldn’t be feared
where people of color shouldn’t be nervous walking around the street without being hate crimed and looked at weird
a dream where rapists and racists are held accountable
and the system doesn’t let us down
a dream where our politicians believe in climate change
and water and air pollution is gone
where we we recognize that our oceans are dying
and the earth is crying for help, yet no one is helping her
as the sky turns from a radiant blue to a foggy gray
and the ecosystems wither and everything’s gone astray
i have a dream that us humans work together and put aside our differences to save the planet
but this is only a dream, right?
a wish that i could only hope to come true
but, as much as i could wish, a dream is only a dream
