I have a dream

I don't have a dream
about the good, about the bad,
the unbelievable, about the sad,
Just of hope's kind stream.

My doorbell flied me a note
to beware of madness;
‘cause politician who's buying a vote
Shall fall to darkness.

I will have dreams
not about a matter of life and death,
But to live in peace with every breath.
When will we stop to be victims!?

I had a dream about…
…about love without blood.
I have dreams a lot…
…about people above the mud.
I have a simple dream,
just to fulfill my dream…

Hey darko! Welcome to YWS.
First off, this is quite an interesting piece. I like the way you took MLK's speech and made it into a poem. However, there are a couple of mechanical things to work out:
My doorbell flied me a note

Your doorbell "flied" you a note? This did not make sense to me.
‘cause politician who's buying a vote

Again, there are a couple of things you could have meant here, but how it is now is not correct. I think you meant 'cause a politician who's buying a vote right? It could also be 'cause politicians who are buying votes or 'cause politicians buying votes or something like that. :)
When will we stop to be victims!?

A double punctuation mark is a no-no. Let your words make the emphasis instead of the !?.
I had a dream about…

…about love without blood.

I have dreams a lot…

…about people above the mud.

I have a simple dream,

just to fulfill my dream…

You have a lot of ellipses here (those are the '...' thingies) that don't add anything to the poem. Poems are read so that there are pauses at the line breaks, so all the ellipses and the comma are unnecessary here. Your words and ideas are great though! So no complaints there. Just make sure you read it over again a few times, and edit as you see fit.
PM me if you need any more help!

I don't have a dream

about the good, about the bad,

the unbelievable, about the sad,

Just of hope's kind stream.



My God send me a note

to beware of madness;

‘cause a politician who is buying a vote

Shall fall to darkness.



I will have dreams,

not about a matter of life and death,

that we stop to be victims

But to live in peace with every breath.





I had a dream about,

about love without blood.

I have dreams a lot

about people above the mud.

Thank you for review. I hope that my signature won't affect on the poem. :);)
Dreams they come and go...ever shall be so...

No problem :D If you want, you can click 'edit' on the upper right side of your post and edit your poem, you don't have to post a new one.

OK, thank you for advice...
Dreams they come and go...ever shall be so...



As a former (and rather excellent) liar herself, Aru knew that, sometimes, speaking the truth felt like wrenching a thorn out of your side. But doing the opposite meant pretending it wasn't there. And that made every single step ache. It was no way to live.
