Dreams Take Effort

I dreamed a dream of peace last night

In peace I slept so sound

But come the dawn, that dream was gone

And strife was all around.

Where now be found that peace we seek?

Where now an end to hate?

All those before, how many more?

For some, right now’s too late.

All think they know we cannot change

That’s just how things are done.

It’s just the way. That’s what they say

As kids die by the gun.

“We can’t afford to feed them all.

Why must they breed so fast?”

That’s not a fact. Don’t want to act.

It’s right now, not the past.

We spread the lies that we’ve been told

Why change will never be.

Not that it can’t, but that it shan’t 

Would inconvenience me.

So let them starve and bleed and die

“I’m not the guilty one.”

Politicians, like magicians

Distract us just for fun.

I wish I knew some way to fix

What troubles human kind.

But all for naught, that’s all I’ve got

No answers did I find.

All we can do, is what we may

Let’s each do more than glance

If those who care would do their share

We may yet have a chance.

Cheers,
