Have a Dream

This is a poem that a lovely library teenager, Thora V., wrote.

Have a Dream

Stand up and say

I have a dream,

Throw off this

blanket of oppression

and scream.

So what if you're

different? Don't blaspheme

Black or white whatever your theme,

stand up and say,

I have a dream.

Your ancestors were slaves 

and started to scheme.

The ones in the south

went to the extreme.

They took away our

self esteem, and

told us, "You cannot

have a dream."

It doesn't matter if 

you're black or white,

You are unique let

your difference steem.

Stand up and say, 

"I have a dream."
