The Dreamer

A being with vision is he who can see
 More than others to a greater degree

 Looking at the status quo
 He sees the means for prosperity to grow

 Appearing in the mind as if by chance
 He is but mortal at a glance

 However deeds are that which make a man
 And so of their lives, time shall span

 For in the end greatness lies
 In finding a way in which to revise

 The means and morals of our simple race
 Giving us a newfound grace

 To set aside the aura of war and hate
 This is a dreamers final fate
