Stop Dreaming

There isn’t ever going to be world peace,
because somehow along the way we celebrated defeat
and failed to recognize that it was ourselves who we defeated.
A simple resolve slowly converted to theory
and that’s all we needed for a resolve to become
a tall-tale story.
Only solution left: start packing and start leaving.
So Stop Dreaming.

Capitalism will never die,
just because people lie for and by distribution,
fight for a bigger un-needed proportion,
and die for a plastic over-profit, that really wasn’t needed
because in reality it was just a greedy mis-understood feeling.
So Stop Dreaming.

Democracy will live on
because even if somehow it turned out to not be perfect,
it would still be an accepted wrong.
And in our time’s glory, It’s our only decent song.
From Communism to dawn, like it or not, democracy will live on.
So Stop Dreaming.

World hunger will never cease to exist
because even if one was to feed everyone on the list,
by the time one would finish feeding the rest,
the first one that was fed would be starving
again.
So Stop Dreaming.

Words that rhyme on paper
to be expressed later
are not going to make it any better.
So cry now or cry later
all you can do is dream about it later
and when the time reaches later
don’t let your dreams be dreams like a false prayer
and store them on un-hopeful
blank white pieces of paper.
