"I Have A Dream"
I have a dream that one day
Someone like me
Will be accepted as a valuable part of the contributions
For a better city and world.
Where, someone like me….
Can feel that they may live with confidence
That they are equal, as the rest.
Where someone like me……
Me who?... who believes in Prayer as part of the Solution
For street crimes, kids carrying knives, kids dying…
Drugs, drugs harming our kids, killing our kids, kids maiming and killing each other
Someone like me,
Who believes that prayer is a big part of the Solution
May feel accepted, included and valued
Equally, as the rest.
I have a dream….
That one day I too will be able to feel that I can live and work
For what I believe in
Equally, as the rest.
I have a dream that one day our kids and our streets will be safe,
That is my Prayer
That is my Dream.
I have a dream that one day my dream will become a reality.
Reverend Dawnecia Palmer

“So your dream is that other people become religious? Jesus Christ, of all the things that are going on in this city and in this country, do you really believe that the mainstream rejection of religion is the most important?”

“Forget dreaming and praying; try working towards your aims. Victims and martyrs are a deterrent to progress.”
