The poem 'I dream a world' by Langton Hughes explores racial an moral boundaries that are holding society back.
'Where greed no longer saps the soul,
Nor avarice blights our day.'
'A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties on the earth.'
The persona uses the repetition of 'I dream a world' to make his view on the world clear. The use of simile compares joy the emotion, to a physical pearl. Hughes uses visual imagery to describe what he believes is a peaceful world.
'And joy, like a pearl.'
'Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn.'
