The Dream

by Jamee Adams, Link Class of 2009

Many people
One land
Differences need to be put aside
on a common ground for us to live our lives.
Hesitation needs to be stopped...
Honestly I know why!!!
It's still discrimination and segregation
That's no lie
In a world full of hate
Where no one gets along.
Peace needs to happen
Before humanity is gone
I see the U.S. changing
I think it's changing for the better
With Obama as president
Things get worse before they get better.
So just have faith
And keep hope alive
Without those qualities
Lives will go by.
A change is a comin'
So keep your head high
Don't ever lose faith
That is how spirits die.
MLK had a dream that is now being shown
We are a part of that dream now and when we're gone
The dream is not done
Nor yet finished
But as change is comin'
We keep on beginning
Starting new dreams each day
Learning that we are what makes us this way
But the dream is that we keep hope in our hearts
Fight for what is right
Set right and wrong apart
Change is a comin'
The dream is not dead
We keep on dreaming
So that my poem will continue to keep on dreaming the dream.
