DREAMS (poetry)

By Sagar Patagundi

We come to the same land with a dream,

Different ethnicity, different dreams, One motive.

To make this world a better place to live,

to give back what the world has given you.

But along the struggle your dreams have been shot down.

Families have been torn apart.

Hopes have been lost,

but rebuilt with your own strength and ambition,

a struggle brought upon you that taught you to become independent.

The change you will bring, the women and men of this nation.

Seeking Equality and Justice.

But until this day there is no justice, there is no equality, and

there is still racism.

The critics, and the people, affected and brainwashed by the media.

What is your dream?

What is it that you are doing to make a difference?
