Dreaming Change

A world so unstable, a life so constantly in flux,
we face the inevitable, never believing too much.
As our best laid plans never fall into place,
a life of uncertainty, while our hopes are defaced.

Fear and despair, seem the flavor of the day,
some resign themselves, they may even kneel to pray.
For a sign, a little help, from beyond their grasp,
a place to lay blame, repeating sins of their the past.

This night as we lay our heads down to rest,
into a world, dreams that will never deny our request,
The true nature of change, we may finally see.
this life of free will, created, just as we want, need it to be.
