Forever in a Dream
Dreams of peace are abandonedas anguish and eternal flames flicker across a dying sea
etching a memory
and, what was seen long ago destroyed innocense
But, dreams... lived in the false belief, that we were not at war
However, most wars are waged behind closed doors
Paid for with worthless currency ~ yet profitable -- indeed
And, in a dream, a life could mean more to the powers that be;
and, more than any mans' greed
And, if I could close my eyes, pretend that I can't see ~
I'd still be aware and filled with despair
the echo of sadness vibrating in my soul ~
Forever in my Dreams
