Dreams inside a dream

A dream from the Empire State Building.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream
that one day a change will come, that racism
will vanish, justice for all will triumph and we
will be free at last, free at last. Let us all thank
God we are free at last.
A dream can last a lifetime, and it takes
a dream to know that not everybody
dreams at night, though all of us dream
at some time or another. Maybe it happens
when we’re in our REM sleep. Or, maybe we
dream our best when we daydream.
Remember that Martin Luther King said he’d been
to the mountaintop and that one day
justice will flow down like mighty waters,
like from the top of the Empire State Building
to the hills of Mississippi. And that, once again,
we shall overcome and we shall be free at last.
