"Lamented Dreams"


“Lamented Dreams”

8/19/16

Young and able to dream awake
memories of those long ago thoughts
visions of what would be coming
learning to pay attention always
then when living also remembering
knowing what to watch for in sight
while unseen and unheard in awe
then with aging now dreams vary
becoming lamented dreams sad
seeing our nation – my nation
sick and being attacked within
politicians with the media paid
deceiving and beguiling others
so many following the adversary
wanting entitlement without effort
caring not of obedience of laws
these dreams awaked crying
my dreams of the daytime gone
living in the vile limitations
of those who desire not freedom
rather accepting the chains
fulfilling self-fulfilling prophecy
wasted and spoiled as foretold
selling for lusts virtue-value
weeping in lamented dreams!
