I Had a Dream
I dreamed that there were no borders or barriers
and everyone was coming and going all over.
There were no countries with complicated names,
nor other languages difficult to pronounce.
There were no Latin or Jewish quarters,
consulates, embassies, or customs.
We were dealing with John, Joseph, and Peter,
having forgotten the old records
at those big notary books of names like
Tudors, Stuarts, Windsors,
Whites, Browns, and Smiths.
Priests, pastors, rabbis and teachers,
together they worshiped the same God,
the same saints and prophets,
praising the history we lived
and sowing hope in the hereafter.
Restaurants, schools, and hospitals,
all of them were open to anyone,
even the parties, weddings, and baptisms
and all other pleasures of the day-to-day.
