Dreams fall
Like drops of rain
From clouds of naïve hope

Hope crushed
With brutal blows
By the hands of revelation

Revelation found
In ancient stone
Carved by sharpened truth

Truth obscured
With the erosive force
Of standards, pressures and "the norm"

Normality defined
As if an ocean to a drop
Of what one decides is right

What is right? Unknown
But ignorance leads
To assumptions of pain
