Reality versus dream!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Reality is deemed to be current
Happening and occurring in recent
Practiced by those in existence
And has tangible results
Dream is synonymous to imagination
Thought while daydreaming
Seen while in a vision
Gone through while sleeping
All of them relate to tangibles
Only that some are thought of
And may eventually come to existence
And some we dwell in and act of
They sometimes overlap
But an occurrence so rare
Reality harsh and empty of hope
Fantasy sweet, an addiction so sinecure
Teeter on the edge of both
To keep your sanity
Or immerse yourself in ones’ froth
And be drenched of insanity!
