I Dream A World

The poem “I Dream a World” gives a pretty clear message to my head. The author of the poem or the person who wrote, made us think of the world he was leaving in. He lived in a world where “freedom” did not exist, a world where peace and love had no value and happiness was too far to rich. He dream all the opposite, he dream of a world where peace, freedom and love is the most important things in people’s life. He wished people will realize what life is really about, in other words what really matters in life (that others did not seem to understand). We are here every day worrying about how our hair looks, how we don’t have money to get a new shirt we loved at the mall or how we are running out of gas in our car but people like the one who wrote this poem back then had nothing. Their goal was to eat once a day everyday and not get killed if they did something wrong. People treated them like if they were nothing. Langston Hughes was one of them but even though he knew he was nothing in the other people’s eyes he still had a dream in his mind, a dream that is ours for us to see the difference of the worlds and how a guy who was just one more person of a thousand suffering had still a dream to change the world, hope and faith by his side at all times. Till this day he's admire by us or at least by me for never giving up the hope and faith he had in the change he wanted. This poem shows how hard it was to live with no hope, no love, peace nor freedom and how now we wish for the stupidest things when all he wished for back then was freedom, hope, love ....but not ONE material thing that cost money or gold but things that will shape his world different.
