This dream of yours
hits me to the core
I've had it too
and it makes me feel blue
It comes to me when I'm awake
and I tell myself that I won't partake
but the signs are clear
the end of America is near
I try not to fear
as I choke back a tear...
for I'm afraid that I'll create
or co-create
this terrible fate
Is it out of my control?
I'm trying to console
myself
I choose love
I choose faith
is it enough
to stop this state?
of wreckage
of ruin
is it all my doin?
I tell myself I won't forsake
for it's only love
I want to create
If I change myself
while I'm awake
will the outside world
reflect my state?
I choose love
I choose faith
I will create
a beautiful world
we can celebrate
join me my friends
for it's not the end
let's change our thoughts
so that we may mend
a hard climb it is
as we ascend
but If we commit to the job
we will transcend
so come on
and join me
for I portend
if we do it together
we'll form a new trend
Very nicely done! It gives me
Very nicely done! It gives me a real, sincere sense of hope and optimism. In some parts it sounds like lyrics to a hit song - a good hit song.
Thanks! Gosh, this is from
Thanks! Gosh, this is from back when I first started writing poetry. I think I maintain that same optimism. Though the pessimist still speaks in my other ear. He's just a little quieter these days. Thanks for the read Rudy! :)
