Notes About The Poem

VOICE: AHMAD RAZVI

Listen to poem:

These Broken Dreams - Collaboration With White Wolf

THESE BROKEN DREAMS
Collaboration with White Wolf

If these broken dreams were meant to be,
Then why is this world so hard to see?
This world we live in is so obscene,
If only we could live in a dream.

Some say living in a dream is bad
I always think that awfully sad
For it's this world that's broken, not the dream
We stand on it's painful smithereens

What is important is in your heart
Not all in life wants you to be smart, 
Find your pack, find your path, find your rhyme
That's what is important in your time

     When wondering if life is worthwhile,
     You’ll often find yourself with a smile

(nine syllables per line)
