I see my people smile The smile of ancient times Walking the peaceful beaches as lovers Some even brave the waves To bathe and swim Nearby lie others in harmonious bliss Under shades from the kind sun A picture of joy for ever
I hear my people laugh Not the half hearted kind But a hearty one from self worthy souls No longer afraid to hope For joy , peace and prosperity No longer afraid of speaking their minds Without suffering all kinds of misery From an unkind sovereign overlord
I see my people walk free Of shackles what ever they were The ones that bound their free will and hope The ones that threaten their lives and joy The ones that make them check their words The ones that sent their kids to an early grave The ones that separated husbands and wives The ones that made little children orphans Walking free from what they feared before
That dream is a sweet dream I do not want to wake up From that deep slumber Till I see my dream come true On that day I shall sing Songs of praise to my Lord Happy that my people Are free at last Until then let me keep dreaming So do not wake me up from my slumber
Even Dr. King jnr, famously known for his "I have a dream" couldn't have pictured it better. From this poem, it moved readers straight to believing that there is indeed hope for the bettermen. It talks about different groups; one in full control of hostage, and the other struggling to be free from the strings of oppression. Even the Quran said: "After every hardship is relief. " The poem carried me to verses of the Quran, which are structured in a similar way.
The poem is very touching. also, hope-giving.
amen! amen! amen!!
"There is no god but Allah (SWT); and Muhammad (SAW)is His last messenger." shahadah. Fear & Worship Allah (SWT) Alone! (:
Alas brother, that hope and dream may be all we can get. The world seems to have forgotten that we are living in such misery and so why not dream and in that surreal world live a happy life ; the world others take for granted and called Utopia.Thanks for your comments
