"One Dream" by Lucy Shea
I have a Dream
That our world can treat women
just as well as men;
Our world can accept me
as a girl in this world,
Living,
No,
Thriving,
just as anyone else
ever has;
Our world shall not force me to
Fight,
or Die,
for my rightful freedom,
Today
or tomorrow;
Our world
and all in it
can see women
as Powerful and
Strong and
Hard-Working and
Devoted to Good.
I have hope and faith
That,
One day, men and women
will always see each other as Equals.
If I could only have
One Dream come true,
it may be this.
We have ignored
-and Harassed-
Women for far
too
long.
We must accept each other,
for we are all
Only Human.
We all know
we all have
that One Dream,
the One thing
we hope we can give
to our country,
to the world.
We all hope
others will help us,
aid us in making that Dream
come true.
So,
I ask:
Help me;
Help your friends,
your family,
your street,
your neighborhood,
your town, your state,
your county, your country,
And the world
Give to the world.
Help achieve a Dream,
Whether it be yours
Or not,
all because
I have a Dream,
My Dream.
