A Dream

with truth comes misery,
to realise our lies,
and know that the world has much to hide,
war is a death camp,
and freedoms a dream,
ideas we gave the young,
just to sleep,
i know about politics prejudice and pride,
i know what i was taught to fight for,
was a lie,
i know that fairness cant co-exist,
with humanities belief,
you deserve what you get,
with these thoughts about life,
you may argue with me,
but debating wont stop,
that this life,
is not reality
