The Fbi Tears Through Here Madly

The FBI agent is standing directly
In front of me, tearing through the
TV stand drawer next to my recliner,
looking for the what I
Will never give up.
I try to see through him, because
He is standing between me and the
TV.  But I refuse to move, and so
Does he.
He and his crew are doing a better
Job tearing up this place than
My children will when I am dead.
I can picture them bringing in dumpsters.
They will take turns throwing, maybe
Stopping once in a while
To look at a piece of 
Jewelry.
The FBI agent smiles
At me, but I do not respond.
I pretend to be 
An ordinary citizen,
An old lady, 
A fool.
They keep searching,
Tearing up my house.
Occasionally they 
Throw out an idle 
Threat, making me smile.
Upon awaking I figure
I may be watching too
Much TV.

Thank you Rhona. It came naturally as I woke up from this nightmare.

You 'may be' watching too much TV, Caren, but this scenario might not be a stretch of the imagination nor the sub-conscience. Personally, I think we're a lot closer to this scenario becoming a reality than the majority realize. Have a nice Friday and a great weekend. :) ~ Artsie

Oh, I know what you mean, Caren, that fearful feeling remains even after being awake. I had a dream a couple months ago. I was in the Army with my daughter. A guy the troop was trying to apprehend put a gun right in my face! I still see this image! Terrifying! hugs xx

I felt like this was actually happening, and woke up practically screaming.
