Lift the loose soil and drains it away,
Uplift the sunken heart of a farmer,
Who has lost hope on the productivity of soil?
Replenishes the waters of the drying up rivers,
Raises back life to the drying plants and trees,
And puts a smile on everyone’s face,
So is the dream that puts illusion of happiness to me.
Similar is the moment a new born baby comes into the world,
After long time of heaviness and anguish the mother can afford a smile,
The father feels its best gift God can ever give him,
Politicians would smile and say, “A leader has been born”,
Drunkards celebrate with a toss to each other saying, “Welcome to the club”,
Of a wonder is nobody ever says, “Welcome to the rough world”,
To the baby it is but a dream of the future.
Dreaming had been the most wonderful time of my life,
Reality the bitterest herb that is not to be talked of,
Like a baby playing, dreaming had been the most peaceful time I ever had,
Without fear of the invasion of real world,
Just as a king feels protected from the problems of his people,
So do I feel protected from the realities that only depresses to the grave,
If ever dreams could last forever;
I’ve never shook hands with the president except in my dreams,
Never had a car except in my dreams,
Dinner with the high of the highest of the land only in the dreams,
Pure joy and happiness that life can ever offer only existed in my dreams,
Best of CV’s that can make any man proud have only been part of my dream life,
Warm, cozy and welcoming home that a husband fantasies have only been the reward of dream life,
Never been interviewed on National TV except on the other in existing life of a dream,
If only dream can become true even for a day;
The thief that always steals the best from my dream life has been Mr. Reality,
Even in moments that money was never a problem in my dreams,
I’ll only wake up to find that I’m damn broke,
Reality has even intruded into my dream to hand me my tattered shirt while I was in a designer suit,
Worst of all the invasions that reality made into my private life (dream life),
Is when I had both parents and everything I needed in life?
Only for reality to prove me wrong that I am an orphan, poor and wretched young man,
Worst of all is when I was permanently employed in a very industrious company,
Reality later that morning that presented me with my daily hawking as an occupation,
Oh reality if only I could ever kill you,
Dream you’ve been the best part of my life,
Your endeavours to make me a happy, successful and prosperous ma I appreciate.
But reality who is your enemy has always proved to me that you are but illusion,
I now spit hate for you because you can never last forever,
Vomit disgust at the fact that you dream can never be true for even a day,
Desperation and disappointment at the thought that reality your enemy will always be the winner,
Oh dream, dream, dream, leave me alone,
« return.
