If I dream
It may seem
I chase impossibilities
Searching for sensibilities
In this life
Crazed by stryfe
Asking wrong questions
Following worse suggestions
Yet I persevere
Isn’t always clear
Where to go
Most seldom know
Their own identity
Or their destiny
Some will follow
Leadership that’s hollow
Some spark revolution
To embrace evolution
Over the despair
Just to care
Show some kindness
Amongst the blindness
Is it weak
Just to seek
Some simple empathy
Demonstrate some sympathy
To others suffering
Or do nothing
As others burn
Let hatred spurn
Bullying others senselessly
Into fear relentlessly
Is this righteousness
To control consciousness
With manipulative desires
Greedily it inspires
The selfish advancement
Or wealth enhancement
Who will resist
Or even insist
Freedom and peace
If this mentality won’t cease
