I dreamed a dream too...V1

THERE have been dreamers in this world. The men who carried on their backs, the dreams of thousands. Every country once had a hero. Someone a nation could turn to for hope. But where did they all go? All my life I dreamt of those ages when such men still walked the earth. Men like King, Churchill, Gandhi and Nehru whose words made ordinary men and women do extraordinary things. I began to fear that in my lifetime, I would never see such a man or woman. The thought pained me. But I began to wonder about a phrase I had once heard..'Leaders, are born out of crisis...Great leaders are born out of catastrophe.' "Was the world bidding it's time, waiting for crisis to strike for such a man to be needed?", I wondered.
To be continued....

Since it's my first post on Blogger, I will share a dream. One left behind by a poet and a visionary:

WHERE the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments

By narrow domestic walls

Where words come out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by thee

Into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
