Poem 7

This poem was recited by Liam, Maureen, Jennifer, and Rami: 

The Swedish national anthem starts like this

You old you free Sweden

A place where everyone is accepted

You old you free Sweden

A place where you can feel safe

You old you free Sweden

A place where men and woman are treated equally

You old you free Sweden

A place where the color of your skin doesn’t matter

You old you free Sweden

A place where you can live without hearing words racist words

You old you free Sweden

A place where you can dress up however you want

You old you free Sweden

I have a dream

A dream that can become reality

A dream the gives joy

A dream that gives hope

But the truth is

The truth is that my dream is completely dependent on how we act against each other

How we treat each other

How we stick together

That’s my dream
