It’s in our dreams
No role models for kids, parents telling them lies
Preaching to lead by example, but you only show your disguise
Families can’t stay together, people living separate lives
When did it change from partners to enemies between girls and guys?
Politicians and leaders are in competition with each other,
Instead of fighting together, we fight one another.
The last time I remember when anything was good,
Where I could walk to the store and not be scared of the hood
Where I could picture families not broken but united,
And where my neighbor wasn’t worried about what me and mine did
You can’t go there with open lids
Remember when you were a kid,
It’s in your dreams.

Meleaney Magofna Poem
H.O.L.L.O.W.
History Observes Love Leading Our Way
Fear of the moments ahead are not the easiest to hide
Skin wasn’t genetically created to keep emotions inside
As people we were born with the spirit and might
To preserve the beauty of our energy’s light
Something so simple and natural to feel
Could have the extraordinary power to heal
But the people have been weak while the clocks spun the wheels
Our true meaning and purpose buried deep so tightly sealed
One by one, we regress our sole drive is wanting more
Insatiable craving of power
Send our sons to war
Where there used to be water and life we replace with stores
This world is too noisy I can’t hear the magic from the anymore
I crave not a new life for me
But the ounce hope that this world can be
I wish my children to capture and send my memory
That this world somehow passed on its pure passion to me
To make it out of this self-destructive murder
Of what we truly used to be

Meleaney Magofna Poem
My Hope
I know who you want to be
I can see how complex you are
You’ve felt invisible and lonely
But you haven’t ventured off too far
Your mind is filled with substance
Your heart exceeds its capacity for love
Eyes filled with tears in an instant
You transfer energy through hugs
You move me with your empathy
You take in other’s sorrow
You give me assurance and transparency
That it will be ok tomorrow
