I have a dream, too
by Nessie Bleich (14 years)
Adolf-Reichwein-Realschule, Witten, Germany

Singing in the sun like a bird in the tree,
dancing in the rain only to be free.

Walking through the streets without feeling afraid,
forever living in a world without war and hate.

‘Racism’ only a word, but I hope without future,
Have a try and find out about another culture.

Talk to people if they are colored in a different way,
give them courage and help them to pray.

Believe me, there is truth,
build the future on the shoulders of the youth.

I really hope that justice will come,
and until that day I’ll pray .
