Living Dreams
I dreamed of a day-
where skies burned dully.
With the stench of sulfur
and a storm of ash
the wind blows coldly,
numbing my senses
Yet the air scorched deeply-
heated by hatred
When the world destroyed itself..
Innocence cried and died that day
many fell to gullant greed
staining their hands in crimson rain
and flooding the earth-with a pool of blood
perversing the clean with twisted words
lusting for demolition and pain
...those who meant well died in vain...
How do I stand so calmly
amoung this sin claimed afterworld?
Where the sun I once loved
glares at me, intensely orange.
The ground remains sickeningly pale
shorn of greenary
famamed by dust
Fragrances of the deceased
haunt the air-reminding me
of a lost humanity
I should be struck in fear-
scarred by shock
Doomed to insanity
or at least overwhelmed by grief
.........Instead
My eyes cannot summon tears
my heart beats peacefully
and this soul remains content
I cannot change this fate
but my faith secures me wholely
So even as I face my future
with possibilities still unknown
and dangers plaguing my every step
I heed no warning-
death being the least of my worries...
Even if this dream was never a preminition
it spoke in many depths,
Our generation will suffer consequences-
but can we just hope to overcome it????
