I Have a Dream….!

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of their skin,
but by the content of their character.”
– Martin Luther King,
I Have a Dream Quote
Described as one of the the greatest speeches in U.S History,  Martin Luther King( MLK) shares his passion and paints a picture that captivates all that were gathered to listen to him on that August 28th day of 1963.

Well, I too Have A Dream, well knowing that I am not Martin Luther King and I don’t aspire to become him because I believe in the uniqueness and value in each one of us as an Individual!

I dream of a Better world, (some may be tempted to say yeah right, me too!) but nevertheless,I dream,
I dream of a world with Warmer Relationships, and Real Communities.
I dream of a world where there’s more Good News than Bad News; where the media strives to report the best things coming out of society,
I dream of a world where each one of us realises that we are talented and we strive to nurture that talent, using it to serve ourselves, mankind and our God, the benefactor of the talent.
I dream of a Society that encourages individuals to Dream, Act, Excel; where we celebrate each other’s uniqueness, potential and success.
I dream of a World with more leaders than Politicians, where “Opposition parties” critique rather than fight the ruling governments, a world where people genuinely trust and expect others especially their leaders to do the right thing.
I dream of a world where our similarities outweigh our differences, where we celebrate Humanity Days rather than National Days, Wealth and Prosperity days rather rather than Disease Days(AIDS Day and the like), where we are Partners rather rather than Parties in  Relationships.
I dream of a world where neighbors and communities will use one car to go to work, church…., have community meals, build community roads and amenities rather than live as  individuals whose only similarity is their accusations against “government”.
Over 40 years ago, MLK and many others had a Dream, today President Barack Obama is testimony that dreams and indeed their dream materialised.
So it is with Hope that I dream, Hope that one day this Dream will be a Reality.That one day, people will genuinely look at the past and bless God, enjoy their Present and look forward with eagerness at the days to come, a world where Fear is the exception rather than the rule.
 I firmly believe that the latter days shall be more glorious than the former days, therefore I dream.
One thing is certain in this World; CHANGE.
I dream, believe and hope that that Change will be for the Better, Warmer, Lovelier, Cleaner, Stronger, Happier,……I dream of a world  you and I proud to be identified with as Citizens,
A world we’ll proudly hand over to our children and grand children…..
