"...I Dream a World"

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! 

Langston Hughes
