The Dream Wanders Far Afield

The dream wanders far afield,
in search of a kindred tribe
that to cynics does not yield,
by princely sums not bribed. 

Far and wide, it sees many a face
that it can scarce recognize,
specimens of a hybrid race
born of wanton compromise. 

Oh where can it be, it wonders,
the kinship my heart craves. 
As the sky dims and thunders, 
it stumbles upon rows of graves.
