Sweet Dreams

It is different here, new century,
I keep my old memories,
But they can't keep me.

Different is better,
because they are here.
I look into their eyes, 
they reflect no fear.

They are my blood,
my seed.
you have failed to succeed.

Theirs is not beaten, 
not lost,
nor mis-spent.

Theirs the place where dreams are dreamt.
