I Dream A World by Langton Hughes

The poem I Dream A World is cleverly written by Langton Hughes.
He has wirtten a poem about all the boundaries that have put up over the years and now "he deams' tht\at they will be taken down

He uses a rhyme scheme of: abcb. Which makes the poem easy to follow with.
The style he writes is mainly subjective and personal, although the tone is very hopeful.
To make his statements very clear he uses repitition, which brings out what he is trying to say much more clearly.

"Where greed no longer saps the earth"
Is a moral boundarie. Being to greedy is using all the resources the world has and if we are not carefull enough, before we know it they will be all gone.

"A world I dream where black or white,"
Is a very strong racial boundarie. He wants to see a world where, no matter if your skin is black or white, everyone can still be treated fairly and with respect.
Towards the end of the poem he uses a simple simile.
"And joy, like a pearl"
And the conclusion of the poem states exactly what he believes and wants to see his perfect world.
"Of such I dream, my world!
