Truly Waking Up

Now tonight I cannot sleep. I dream but these dreams we reap. So is it that I can't fall into trance? Or is it these vision we only glance? If we as human beings followed through. Together we could create utopia and, truly dance. You reading this have something you kinda want. You can't kinda want and never, truly get. Even at 70 years old. There's no reason to get in that rocking chair waste your day and, sit. I don't care if I get poem of the day. If I could just alter your mind in any way. I would say my 6 hours of sleep was enough. If you truly tried your life wouldn't be so rough. You own a device that could understand a dream forget that useless stuff. I may not have money to pay my rent but, I saved a life without a single dime being spent. So if court sends me to jail an inmates minds I could set sail. Maybe not everyone will listen. I know a single troubled soul will truly glisten. I beat the system knocked on my knee. Your mind is a seed. So sprout that tree. Tell this world who your truly gonna be. A famous man said the mind has limitations. I will allow you to make the observations. They said humans could never fly. All it took was the wright brothers to ask simply why? They said we could never touch the moon. Armstrong said the earth had such a beautiful gloom. They said we could never break the sound barrier. Ask the air force about a jet carrier. They said we could never create a flying car. Ask Ford why they held that bar? The truth lies in blind sight. We need to reach a new height.
