It's Just a Dream... Must Be
2 million starving.
Food stacks waiting.
A mile or two — queuing.
Arms killing.
Blood spilling.
Dripping.
Hands gripping —
Empty. Nothing.
World watching:
Silent. Or clapping.
This is insane.
Inhumane.
It must be a dream.
I need to wake up.
Open my eyes.
End the cries.
Stop this pain.
Break the chain.
I try and try,
But my eyes don't lie.
Already open wide.
Reality can’t hide
My tears dried
Humanity, died
This is not a dream.
Though I wish it was
It's a reminder
Any nightmare would be kinder
Than this reality
That never ends.
