THE DREAM

   THE DREAM!   The booming echo of a lone voice Shattered the great barriers of offence 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 offence 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     A tribute to the memory of Dr Martin Luther King Jnr.    BARAK OBAMA IS ACTING THE  AMERICAN DREAM,      Author: Felix Joseph Osaeghemede [email protected], +2348037825027.
