I had a dream last night
About suddenly waking up
But the dark had engulfed the light
Gone was the fight
Both sides giving up
On simple wrong and right
I'm awaken to a primitive plight
Ageing but not growing up
Somewhere out in the multiverse I might
Forget reaching the highest hight
It's not looking up
Not a single goal in sight
The futures not too bright
It's burning up
While we argue who hit ignite
It's too much to take onsite
No throwing up
Only ingest a small bite
Maybe it will be alright
