an excerpted poem American Dream Ballad © by Byron Haskins

I want to be free

I want you to be free with me

I'm dreaming of democracy

I'm thinking of a place

without someone criticizing me

where love is in the blood

without toxic waste.

where who you love

is a matter if taste.

thinking a place

where they don't rip you off

where's there's not struggle

to be on top

where they don't just

lock you up

with great women and men

and everyone defends

democracy

where slavery was fought

where cultures were brought

where hatred is out

where friends are sought

it's time to do some freedom

it's time to do some democracy

adios to projects against America

bienvenu a amor

do you wanna be free?

do you wanna free me?

come dream with me

maybe its a dream

but lets take America back

to democracy.
