I Dream A World By Langston Hughes

I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
 I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom's way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!

Feelings ( Can be your conflicts)

Feelings

Never thought feelings could break u down like that,
now when I see a girl hit my line
ima hold back,
just cause im black doesnt mean I rob stores,
sick and tired of people being racist and making dogs fight
so I tried to hold me back.
Cats have lives
dogs have feet
humans have food and africa has sand,
but we all the same,
tho we don’t show emotion
doesn’t mean we don’t have feelings.
Black people shooting
white people pashing
freaks playin games
and builders keep thinking,

that all shows emotion in ways u dont understand.
