I wrote speech inspired by Martin Luther King, a great man in history. This is basically my own shorter version of the well known speech 'I Have A Dream'.
(The text in italics is has been copied from Martin Luther King's version)
I have dream that one day this country will live together in peace, friendship and in harmony. I have dream that one day we will all stop fighting against each other but instead fighting for each other. I have a dream that we will all be equal in each other eyes; not judging each other by our appearance.
I have a dream today. |

| I thought it sounded familiar, but As I don't know Luther King's speech off by heart I can't tell how close or far you are from the original version. Some small proofing errors to be picked up (like "I have dream" several times) and perhaps the word you need instead of "self-satisfied" is "content"? Nothing to argue against in the unalloyed idealism of its sentiments, which are entirely appropriate for someone of your age. |

| I find I can't add to or disagree with anything in the above review - so ditto. Phil |
| I think, Written by audrie (454 comments posted) 28th January 2008 |
| when we are young, that we all have these ideals of a unified world. If only we could get people to see that it is just a question of trying - but to live in peace we have to get rid of our egos, and that is what stops us from having a beautiful world. It is an impossible dream, unless the whole human race agrees to try, but they won't, unfortunately. Too busy leading their own little lives. But, good on you for wanting it. |

| Seems it's going the other way, thanks to the bloody media. I have friends of many different backgrounds, and I'm often surprised by the generalizations and scare-mongering of the mainstream media. In highschool the teachers wanted us to read newpapers and watch the news to know 'what is going on in the world'. I nowadays think that newspapers and the television are for a large part responsible for any tensions in todays society. Do kids care if their friends are black or white, Christian or Muslim? I think not. It's only when they are supposed to learn 'what is going on in the world' when they get indoctrinated with racism and fear... |

| I love King's speech, I've got a poster of it on my wall. This version here is pretty good as well, the idea of today and tomorrow is a great idea. Fledermaus also made a great point in the review above me as well. |
