IISZ 2018 Challenge #5 - The Queen's Dreams

[Tiger the Lion]

I Have a Dream

I have a dream 
that although it's gone pear-shaped,
we remain an oak
and all acorns are created equal.

I have a dream
that one day 
the sons of sharks 
and the sons of sea turtles
will graze together
in the sea grasses waving in the tide.

I have a dream
that a sweltering Mercury
will shrug off the heat
of opinionated planets
and 
just
fucking
enjoy 
the sun.

I have a dream 
that my apothecary medicines
will not be defined
by the color of a party
but the intent of my character.

I have a dream 
that one day baskets of yellow
and baskets of red
will spill into each other,
join hands and make orange.

I have a dream today
that the reason our mother
can't remember our names
is the gypsy's word was true,

a curse is lifted
and we are free at last.



Sort of combining challenges 1 and 5. ( a mash-up of MLK's " I Have a Dream" and the Queen's dreams) - with appropriate credit
