Oh How We Dream!

 OH HOW WE DREAM!

Too many raw dreams

We dream

Hoping someday to fulfill 

Only one day to remain still!

Can you too feel

That cold cold touch 

The touch of he who steals

Infant dreams,

Eats them raw

And splatters 

Blood on the floor!

Can you too see

See the footprint

Left incomplete 

On this bare ground?

Can you too hear

The wail of fear

Coming through from that hut

The dark cloak swept through 

This compound; and our hearts 

Bleed for our boy!

Too many raw dreams

We dream

Hoping someday to fulfill 

Only one day to remain still!
