I Have a Dream

I have a dream I am in darkness I look and see a world Only wanting evolution Picking and grabbing Until all remaining life is lost in time I see a world Conquered, and in pain By men after men Wanting only power I see a world A Victorian world Hardworking, truthful, yet full of lies Those advanced rule all I see a world Wanting revolution Wanting an idea only to change it the next day Changing in blood I see a world Countries still divided But trying to hold for a hope A hope of peace and nationalism I see a world Of growing towns of steel And motorized metal Clanking over a ground unprepared I see a world Where men stand up Different colors, with hands high Chanting a chant of love To be free I see a world Full of terror Leaders who struggle And people who search For someone to blame I see a world A world of blue Of beauty With peace, and love All is well All are happy Poverty is gone And wars, dissolved Then I awake I start to cry I had a dream

Such a compelling dream, Justin. Got chills when reading your last verse. When we find happiness in dreamland, it's hard to face the real world again. Well done! Love, Carolyn
