Indifference

The battles of dreams-
                                                                              And the visionary pleads
                                                                            That one more will make it
                                                                              Giving a knight a blanket-
                                                                               Knowing when to follow
                                                                                    And when to lead
                                                                               To find a morsel of hope 
                                                                            That will feed the dreamers
                                                                        A belly full of imagined foresight
                                                                               To work from the heart
                                                                                To welcoming the start
                                                                                       With open arms 
                                                                              And trying not to arm um
                                                                              With false notions of hope
                                                                           So the future is not incoherent
                                                                     And the dreamers will never go broke
                                                                             After putting it all on the line.
                                                                       Indifference?  I’ll never be unkind.
