Broken Reflection

I had a dream too That someday I will be king And be the change I want to see I had a dream That someday, some how I will find a way …where there is a will There is always a way But shall we continue to hope When faith starts to bleed When truth is said in a whisper How can I continue to read? When the media has to choose What to write on the paper I feel like I’ve been told a lie From the day I was born Answers buried with the dust And forgotten as the past Now darkness imprisons me With power to rival the sun Like the absolute hunger that has swallowed the world Enacting a story of life that is not mine I had a dream That someday I will be king And be the change I want to see I had a dream too That someday, some how I will find a way …where there is a will There is always a way But if all that glisters is not gold What is the truth that has not been told? And if tomorrow is a gift un-promised Then I am trapped in myself My body has become a cell Held by these invisible chains heavier than led But I have to climb throw the walls of doubt That surrounds my mind To see clear this broken reflection

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hi, Nobert, yes! how true. I can only add this. "Whoever has a will for change, God will help that person find the right way. Stick to your dream and you will be king in your own right. I may be wrong, but I think this is the poem I suggested you write when you wrote the other negative poem, and I asked you to see the other side of things. Blessings, ~~~Darlene

Darlene i must indeed what you say is true For the earth’s beauty can only be defined, When we acknowledge that the moon, the stars and the sun, Are but one thing that give light to earth As is the earth one with them And we all stand to be judged but one creator above all..
