Minds are like parachutes. They only function when they are open.


This is a dream I dreamt.
I dreamt it as I slept
on the floor of my apartment.

A man in another land;
shovel in hand,
working under another man’s command.
A family to sustain,
some kids to educate,
and a job to maintain.

I wanted to wake up
and this dream to end,
so I could meet with my dad again.

But the dream I dreamt wouldn’t end,
until my mom got detained,
and I returned to the land I once belonged.
