I had a dream last night
In it people were smiling, helping one another
Caring and sharing like it was Christmas every day
The air was pure the sky clear of smog and filth
Hand in hand the people rejoyced
Singing aloud and counting their blessings.
But then I woke up to a nightmare to cursing
And violence the air thick with black death
Where no one lifted a finger to help one another.
It's all about me! What about me they would scream
Scheming, stealing and lying just to get by
When can I wake up once again to retreat
Into my santuary that was a golden world
To escape this reality that is my nightmare?
