Dream
Dream!
A five letter word,
to some an illusion,
to some its madness
to some a misconception,
others it’s an alternate reality.
I had a dream,
not the Luther's kind,
Nevertheless it was my dream,
A very simple dream,
of every common man.
I dreamed of a good job,
a beautiful wife and kids,
a nice house to settle in,
that was my dream,
that was my alternate reality.
But the world isn't a paradise for everyone,
and like that of every common man's dream,
mine too was an utter illusion.
