There are those who dream
For dreaming to them is future's reality
Through prayer, planning and perseverance
The dreams are sought so well as to be
Success is deemed upon them and praise
Well, praise becomes added bonus to
The dreamer's euphoria.

For these, the leaders of men & society

And then those whom choose to fantasize
For fantasy to them is reality, not life
They wish, want and will
The fantasies so convincing as to be
Their belief and will bestows righteousness
Righteousness in belief willed upon
The fantisizer's reality.

Unto these, the creators of art and philosophy.

Finally those few enough to be one compelled
Compelled to share dreams and fantasies to portend
That with consistency, conviction and compellation
The compeller's stories so wanted as to be
Life is but chance to make the lies become truth
Truth to them is a friend begged to grant
The compelled's sanctuary.

Granted these, the exhibitors of pain and remorse.

God is omniscient and triune
For all three of these He is there
But Compel? He is a washer of wishes
Through conceiving only the third
Only the third his rightful heir.

This writing inspired by one who lived his life making up stories that he hoped his desire could compel him to make reality. Thou shalt not lie, indeed. But his turmoil in life he could not see that in trying to eventually prove his statements always true, he would have been so much better to have just said "Here's all I dream about and fantasize about, but it's not in the now...all that is in the now is me". That'd been good enough!
