I will never be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, dine with presidents, rub shoulders with royalty or have a national holiday named after me. I still have a dream.
I dream that America can be more perfect. That drug dealers selling poison will be rounded up and made to learn a different trade. That folks will come to senses and realize that 'poison' destroys all round, including themselves. I dream so hard on this that even led a march against;
MARCHING in protest
The Fresno Bee
Originally published 2008-06-04
A group of about 10 people including neighbors, politicians and representatives of politicians marched through an alley between Calaveras Avenue and Glenn Avenue south of Belmont Avenue in central Fresno shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The group circled and repeated their route carrying signs and calling out to residents of the area encouraging them to turn against drugs.
Residents peered over fences at the sight, which included a headstone, a small casket and a man dressed as the Grim Reaper -- with marchers blowing the occasional whistle.
Rob DeFrees said he moved to the neighborhood a year ago and organized the protest march to combat the drug dealing, prostitution and gang activity he sees. Citing this as the first time for the march, DeFrees added, "We'll do this again if we have to."
Where lived at present may be not as bad, it still have a problem with too many lives being ruined by drug dealers.
I dream of living in a community where folks try to better selves. That layabout scroungers are made to do something with lives. That benefits cheats are reported and made to atone for their crimes against the public purse. That children are promoted as our most valued resource, that their parents will do all possible to encourage them to be the best possible.
I dream of living in a community where folks treat one another with respect. Where colour, religion, nationality and sexual orientation mean bugger all in how we treat one another.
Like Martin Luther King, Gandi, Lincoln and Mother Tereasa, I believe passionately;
"CHANGE THE WORLD IN ONE WAY, YOU CHANGE IT IN OTHER WAYS"
