Politics, Ice creams
and Dreams
I had a dream
And in that dream there
was trust
And that trust was
justified
And that trust was
gratified
And that trust was
unified
With all my brothers
and sister
I had a dream
And in that dream
politicians cared
And that caring led to
happiness
And that caring rid us
of hopelessness
And that caring gave us
wholesomeness
For all my brothers and
sister
I had a dream
And in that dream love
conquered all
And that love put an
end to hunger
And that love stopped
the warmongers
And the love silenced
the guns of thunder
Between all my brothers
and sisters
Then I woke from this
dream
And I spoke of this
dream
Told my MP about this
dream
To make reality this
dream.
But I might as well
have been driving
A car made or ice cream
For the good it did me.

It started, in my head, being sung by Anne Hathaway and she slowly morphed into Martin Luther King Jr.
I bet ice cream cars go at a fair old lick :-)

Politics and ice cream. Usually they go together like... Well, I can't think of any two things that are so further apart.
But you've made them work here.
Kudos.

Thank you. It was a tough one this week.
