Poem: Dreams

 DREAM


Everyone has dreams

No one wakes up and scream

"I dream to become nothing"

and then lie in bed all day long

No one looks into the sky 

and imagines emptiness for themself

Even the mad man is said to be living

In the reality of his own imagination.


Why then do men die without achieving their dreams?

Why is it written on no man's grave "He finished"?

Why is the cemetery said to be full of unachieved dreams?

Why? Just why does death knock when a man is at his peak?

Why do men grow old and speak of shattered dreams?

Why then are the young men encourage to dream?

For if there is a hope that our dreams can be achieved

Man must take it and press on

With optimism, realism and pessimism maybe

Man must fight with resilience.

For brave men dream but courageous people follow their dreams.
