After having analyzed the famous “I have a
dream” speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. in the English class, the teacher
challenged the 11th grade students of classes A, B, D and F to write a poem, which focused
on their own hopes and dreams for the future. The following poems are examples
of students’ hard work and creativity. Congratulations!
I have a dream
Trapped inside of me
Like a constant
repressed scream
Always begging to
leave
They say our choices
Have been doomed by our older generations
Be aware, make a change
Go against your temptations
All shades live here black, white, yellow, brown
Embrace your powerful gift of tolerance
Raise your voice, be loud
And don’t bring anyone down
Share what you have in common
Close your eyes and you’ll see
Deep inside our wicked bodies
Our souls run equally free
I had a dream
Trapped inside of me
Always begging to leave
Ana Carolina Fontoura, 11ºF
I dream day
and night
Of a change
in colours,
A
miraculous awakening,
Whose eyes
are seeing.
I dream
every morning
Of a new
seed in humanity
That may
flourish and fill in with love
The holes
our hearts have so urgently been squeezing.
I dream
every afternoon
Of a time
that isn’t contained
And the
hours, minutes and seconds
Are lost in
eternity forever.
I dream
every evening
Of
insightful ideas
Filled with
honesty and bravery
To defeat
the cultural chains of our ancestors.
I dream
every night
Of the
brightest of stars
That stand
out and change
With
nothing but humanity.
I dream of
the moment
We breathe
with no restrains,
Only with
compassion and understanding:
When we
live in peace and just breathe.
Joana Almeida, 11ºB
I have a dream
My dream is to
live
In a world
clouded with security
To breathe real
truths
To walk in real
land
I have a dream
My dream is to
be free
Free of wars,
free of discrimination
Free of
everything
I have a dream
I found it in
the darkness
A little shining
candle
Drying all the
dampness
I have a dream
A dream that
urges me to fight
A dream that gives
me hope
Even when it’s
storming outside
