40 Thieves of Dreams Within Dreams Part 1
This isn’t earth
There is no such thing as earth
Has any one seen the magic lamp lately?
Does anyone remember the reality anymore?
That we are indeed 40 thieves stuck in a cave making 3 wishes
Strategically to survive?
We got tired of the walls
Wanted to see the sun again
The moon the stars
Now this cave we are inside is a world inside a cave
We are trapped within
called earth
Earth a word for inside a mountainside
Slang for language we have forgotten
But I am one of 39 other thieves
I am looking for you
Wondering of your wishes
Seeing this technology
Treading water in the Harpie pool with these gorgeous swimmers and their
beautiful bodies who are going to deceive me like a fairytale crocodile
Those are not the real stars
Those are not the real wars
I'm still searching for the exit
I am the king of the fourty thieves
And my wish was that your wishes would revolve and go through me
You are creating a god
With all of your wishes
I know everything
120 powerful wishes
A genie in tears
An exit we can’t find
And what will we do?
What can we say when the centuries we left behind come for us
Come for our treasure
Find a world within the side of a mountain
A harpie pool
A master of wishes
looking for a trap door of a secret word that keeps changing
We never needed saving
We were lonely
We all wanted to be gods
