I dreamed a dream that things were right and all the world was peace
I dreamed that shepherds loved their flocks for more than just their fleece
I dreamed that universities taught knowledge without fear
I dreamed of pleasant evenings spent with those who hold us dear
I dreamed of churches full of smiles in which were found no guile
I dreamed of sermons full of hope; no guilting down the aisle
I dreamed that each was serpent-wise yet harmless as a dove
I dreamed that judgment was all gone and left was only love

Then sadly…I awoke.
