I Dream of the Day

I dream of the day in which I will be able to travel to the land of my forefathers without fear of discrimination and danger.

I dream of the day in which democracy will be led by the voice of the people instead of the greed and corruption of elites.

I dream of the day in which the burdens of the Palestinian people will be lifted.

I dream of the day in which my people will be one people and will not seek out division, but rather embrace unity.

I dream of justice.

I dream of opportunities

I dream of a new Iraq, a new Egypt, a new Tunisia, a new Libya, a new Syria, and a new America.

I hope that someday soon, I can stop dreaming and open my eyes to find my dreams a reality. For now, I will dream and let these dreams translate into the work of my life.
