I Dream A World

 I came across this is clearing out old files and thought I should share it today, but I do not know the author.

                             I Dream A World

I dream a world where men no other men 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!
