Dreamtime-Wise

Dreamtime realms are the laboratory of the wise.  
This research compound, where DNA was discovered, 
produces our collective future.

A wise one learns at the college of dreams and 
progresses down the highway of success.  
The fool claims that they’re only dreams; 
ramblings of the imagination.

The earth plane is a haven for fools; 
a wise man’s nightmare, where logic and 
reason are locked away from daily access.

Dreamscapes warn of the fool’s carelessness.  
Planes fly themselves, cars drive themselves, 
robots care for the old and infirm there.  
The fool mis-interprets everything.

The wise man sees the dreamscapes message…
Planes crash, cars burst into flame and 
robots crush the bones of the elderly and 
thrash the infirm.

A fool never realizes that fallible humans, 
will never build perfectly flawless machines. 
Fools never remember the “Titanic”; they just keep on rebuilding it again and again.

When will the fool decide to learn?
The wise warn, but are rarely able to help the fool; 
thus, the world stays in chaos.

Dreamtime labs are a human safety mechanism.
It’s too bad that most people ignore their dreams and 
leave the wise, despite their best efforts, to suffer at the whims of the fools.
