CHILDISH DREAMS

Beyond mere imaginations— Dreams,
                   •Peace, like the air blows everywhere.
Behind a closed door— War,
                   •Greed, a relentless struggle for more.
A secret to survival— Education,
                   •Jobs, everywhere connection.

You see, I had this dream
Of a place of absolute calmness 
Inhabited by faces that glow
Hunger and sufferings unknown.

Unknowingly, like a SciFi movie
I was behind the scenes
Merely chasing childish dreams.
