Era: Year 2020 A.D.
Context: A nasty leadership election campaign is under way in the greatest country on a planet with life
He had a dream ...
...that a plane was boarding somewhere
...that the plane was going somewhere
...must have been something he ate
...he can't remember from where to where
He had a dream ...
...that was filled with "bad people"
...they all looked like "they're out to get him"
...by "destroying their own stuff"
...so he can look "really, really bad"
He had a dream ...
...that the virus is a hoax
...if not a hoax, it can be cured by a miracle
...if not a miracle, by injecting bleach
...if not by injecting, then by infecting
He had a dream...
...that there is no racism
...people killing people
...some deserve to die
...others choke 'n kill in self-defence
He had a dream...
...that makes another dream
...shake its head in disbelief
...what has happened to dreams
...between 1963 and 2020?

Excellent to see you apply your talents in poetry for a social and community cause.
Inspired by you ( and a Gujarati Poet who made first Love Sonet in Gujarati named Bhankara ( sound like Mirage that may nit exist) I made an attempt for my first sonet,
Trump lied and lied and lied.
Americans died and died and died.
Truth is the most valuable and dignified
He trumped the Truth and never economized
With venom and spleen
and everything mean,
with Clorox to clean
made the props green #like South lawn at RNC2020
Say "I am hard on Crime"
unless it's his own grime
any time "I am ME" is the prime
hate is the signature of his regime
Putin made you an American Czar.
you narcissism make you a "star"
Both the poems are sad but nicely worded!
