THE AMERICAN DREAM!  

THE AMERICAN DREAM!

The booming echo of a lone voice

Shattered the great barriers of offense

Within the voice

Bubbled a quest to be heard

The inner groaning of its steam

Busted open with a thunderous boom

I have a dream! I have a dream!

A scream heralding the dream.

Resistance marrying misconception

Gave it a fight

The offender viewed it a plague

An old order, no longer at ease

Teaming with ferocity

Dreamer drummed loudest his dreams

Color dared not the dream

A loud vision, none could tame

Like currency, it went circulate

Visible the prophet, yet was despised

Clinging to importunity’s wings

This march, led to a run

Tomorrow it will fly

Yes! it came with a price.

Silenced, the man’s voice

Undeterred a vision,

 Dreaming, it be fulfilled

Yes! The man died

His dreams is immortal

Torturing it, still it must speak

Cremate, it comes refined as gold

Time only nourishes this dream

Indeed, he had a dream

A dream, it was for all

Where all is umbrella to one

As one is same to all

 A dream, priding character in full

And relegating color to exile.

Without stuttering,

 It fluently proclaimed

Love, unity, justice and man’s dignity

Making freedom a coat for all

Against the perilous blizzard of injustice

 Agape, core creed of the dream

Yes! Time groomed it,

 A deserved change

A dream alien to violence

A dream, for all humanity

A dream, defeating the yoke of boundaries

A dream, exuding a limitless aroma to all

A dream, evil offense fears

 It was a dream, an enigma to all

Alas! Dreamer died

Leaving a dream never lied

Rewinding time to refresh

His lone voice, pierced and tore

The iron curtain and wall of divide

On that podium,

 His passion mounted and spoke

I have a dream! I have a dream! 

A scream, heralding change

Permeating space,

For all to embrace justice

  Time like now, fertilized this dream

Enthroning change for real justice

Vivid as clear crystal

Yes! The dream, the dream

Opened as page, immortalizing change

A voice echoes, now it is visible

For real a change is born

God bless this dream

Yes! The American dream

Sweet dreamer of change

Now, rest in peace bosom eternal
