Dreams
We start out in our lives
young, unlearned, naïve.
As we learn, make friends, and grow,
In dreams we must believe.
We mold them for ourselves,
we see a future bright.
We follow life’s long path,
working with all our might.
And then one day we realize
our future is not the key.
It’s for the future of others
our dreams were meant to be.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
