I Dreamt the Whole Thing

Location

I woke up feeling tenuous,


The pain of my whole species.


I stood up to find the floor is like a pond, the roof is leaking.


There's a breach in my shelter, I'm only figuratively speaking.


What I mean is we don't live in peace anymore, the fear is slowly defeating.


Who am I to pick apart society, I'm just a creature.


I carry features from my past lives, and resilience for the future.


I wish to feed the hungry, clothe the poor and one day reach my karmasutra,


I hope to undo all that we've done, restore this poor illusion.


We can start by giving helping hands and create a human fusion.


I want to change the way we look at things, create a brighter outlook,


but to project the things we want to see we must provide the output.


I've dreamt of many things, vivid colors, angels that sing,


I woke to realize that all my hopes were just a dream.
