decolonized dreams

   





I will try to tell you a short story:
 
 Once, when I was little
 in that village where I was born,
 I dreamed that we could remake this world into paradise.

  In such a world there would be
 no darkness, no ignorance,
 no brutality to man by another man.

  In such a world there would be
 no inhumanity, no indignity
 no poverty.
 
 In such a world there would be
 mutual assistance, mutual cooperation,
 mutual love.

  This is the dream
 which has sustained me
 down the terrible years

  And it is with me still;
 only it is more lucid now,
 more terrfying in vastness.

  I would like to give you a glimpse
 of this dream someday.

  --Carlos Bulosan, 1954
