I DREAM A WORLD
I dream a world where everyone
will have enough to eat,
a roof above their head, warm clothes,
and shoes upon their feet;
where everyone shall learn to read,
to measure, think, and write,
where none against their neighbor takes
up arms, or seeks to fight;
where every faith may speak its truth,
where free the press may flower,
where citizens may meet in peace,
and all speak truth to power;
where sickness has a common cure,
and few in sickbeds lie,
where health for all’s a common good,
and death itself shall die.
