I dream of a country where
we care about every person,
and we share with every person
beyond a toy or piece of cake.
Where we take the action
and don’t just say the words.
I dream of a country where
profit goes to those who work,
just as it does to CEOs.
Where the worker is a person,
not a number nor a contract.
Where the tax cuts go to not just the
corporations, but the families too.
I dream of a country where
landlords can sell but also
support those on the streets,
before the rent money.
I dream of a country where
a home is not a privilege.
I dream of a country where
it is not just 1%
against the rest of the world,
but all of us, united.
Where elite is not exclusive.
I dream of a country where
income is not your worth.
A country where the numbers
don’t describe the person.
Of such I dream, my country, my world.
