Favorite Quote:
a man who flants his women and his money, is most likely to have them both borrowed.<br /> - Abe Lincoln


Imagine a dream without prejudice or hate,
A dream without discrimination or debate,
This is a dream that is close at hand,
This is the dream of the promised land.

Imagine a dream that has been gyrating in our heads,
Since the times of Washington, Lincoln, King and the rest,
A dream that has made our enemies see who is best,
A dream that is active in the promised lands nest.

Imagine a dream where work is abundant,
A dream where Tyranny and corruption is repugnant
This dream is at hand,
This is the dream of America, the promised land.
