poem challenge: MLK-Love

He had a Dream

He had a dream
But not one of soaring skies and indigo seas.
A man who believed
That we could all live happily in harmony.
He is long gone
But his dream lives on.
Come sisters and brothers
Together we will stand
To fight for a freedom
That isn’t seen in our land.
Can we ever be truly free? 
Rise together and live out the dream? 
Not until we are granted justice
That flows down the streams
And equality spreads 
Across the world they hear our scream.
