Whispers of a Broken Dream: A Poet's Reflection

Am I living in a movie?
This twisted world of dark and light,
Good and evil locked in fight,
Where truth is drowned in oceans deep,
And justice placed in endless sleep.

Is this illusion or reality?
Shadows dance in lunacy,
Sanity recedes from me,
Life's become a tragedy,
Of lies and make-believe.

Have I watched a child's head split?
Young life spilled, my soul sees it.
Innocence destroyed, I admit,
Evil's scythe has sharply hit,
Leaving grievous wounds to bear.

Are they laughing, dancing in delight?
As evil triumphs over right,
Celebrating brutality,
With callous, casual cruelty,
Devoid of human care.

Is marching for what's good deemed violence?
When justice is met with silence,
And apathy is called prudence,
Has this world lost moral sense?  
Confusion reigns supreme.


Did I see a child take his last breath?
Robbed of life, embraced by death,
His leg gone, bloodstained earth beneath,
His light extinguished, my heart sheath
Torn by this tragic scene.

Have I been grieving for epochs now?
Living in this nightmare somehow,
Bereft of faith, my mind does plough
Through darkness, searching for a brow
Of hope to light my way.

Is this reality or simulation?
Have I lost grip of situation?
Sinking in imagination,
Detached from sure foundation,
Adrift in disarray?

The shadows whisper, reality lost,
In this mad world engulfed in darkness,
Where innocents pay evil's cost,
And ordinary folks tossed and tossed,
On nightmare's angry sea.

Yet I know goodness still lives in each soul,
Seeds of love are humanity's role,
Though powers dark try to take control,
Together we can make darkness whole,
With persistent clarity.

So I'll keep my eyes fixed on the light
Scatter shadows with rays bright,
Meet falsehood with truth and right,
Send ripples of good to ignite
Change, with eternity's might.

The dance of dark and light goes on,
This dreamlike world still carries on,
But we must stay true, be strong,
Combat injustice, right each wrong,
With wisdom, sincerity.

Have courage, friend, despair not yet,
Though clouds loom, sun shines above still,
Evil wins battles, but shall not get  
The final triumph, fate will reset,
Love endures eternally.

We are not players in a movie scene,
But co-creators of life's meaning,
With will and conscience bright and keen,
To reshape reality, make clean
What hatred has stained, in between.

So walk ahead, dismay dismiss,
Let faith and hope your spirits kiss,
No darkness so deep light cannot exist,
No wrong so strong that right cannot resist,
Or good relent, or love cease to persist.

This dreamlike world seeks a new creation,
Beyond division, greed, frustration,
Where justice, truth, compassion reigns,
No child shall suffer again.
We must be the change, in unity.

Have courage, friend, we shall overcome,
Though long the road, our hearts are strong,  
Evil wins battles but shall not win the war,
Truth and light endure evermore.
Despair not, for love lives eternally.

The dance of dark and light continues on,
This dreamlike world still carries on,
But we stay true, resolute, strong,
Right each wrong, combat injustice lifelong,
With wisdom, love and clarity.  

Though shadows whisper reality is lost,
Engulfed are we in nightmare's chaos,
Where innocents pay evil's cost,
And ordinary folk tossed and tossed,
On stormy seas of cruelty.  

Yet we know goodness dwells in each soul,
Humanity's meant to make darkness whole,  
Though evil may try to take control,
Together we can redeem life's role,
Send ripples of light to make the future shine.

So we'll walk ahead, dismay dismiss,
Let faith and hope our tired spirits kiss,
No shadow so deep light cannot exist,
No wrong so strong right cannot resist,
No hatred to make love and goodness cease.

We must reshape this mad dream we're in,
With conscience keen and will to win,
Beyond division, greed and sin,
A new world, where compassion reigns,
And no child suffers again.

Have courage, friends, despair not yet,
Though clouds loom, the sun shines above,
Love endures eternally, this do not forget,
Darkness shall pass, light will be reborn.

Evil wins battles but not the war,
Truth and justice will prevail evermore,
So walk ahead, dismay dismiss,
Let hope and faith your resolve kiss,
To send ripples of light to the farthest shore.

We are not players in a movie scene,
But co-creators of reality's meaning,
With will, conscience and vision pristine,
To reshape life, make the future serene,
Beyond hatred's shadows, trapped in between.

In unity we find destiny's power,
To redeem the darkness of this moment's hour,  
Through truth, courage and wisdom's dower,
We can transform even evil's glower,
Into the light of goodness that will flower.

Have courage, friends, despair not yet,
The light still shines if we do not forget,
That love endures eternally, this do not forget,  
We can transmute the chaos, reshape life's silhouette,  
Into the beauty that is freedom's coronet.

This dreamlike world seeks a new creation,
Where greed and division find no station,
Only justice, truth and compassion reign,
No child shall walk the path of pain.
We must awaken, in charged elation.

The dance of dark and light goes on eternally,
This dreamlike world still carries on,
But we stay true, strong, resolutely,
Right each wrong, combat injustice tirelessly,   
With wisdom, love and sincerity.

We know goodness dwells in each soul,
Humanity's meant to make darkness whole,
Though shadows may try to take control,  
Together we redeem life's role,
By spreading ripples of light to every shore.

So walk ahead in hope, dismay dismiss,  
Let faith and courage your resolve kiss,
No shadow so deep light cannot exist,
No wrong so strong that right cannot resist,
No hatred to make goodness and love cease.

Have courage friends, despair not yet,
The light shines on if we do not forget,  
That love endures eternally, this forget not,
We can reshape reality's silhouette,
Into the beauty that is freedom's coronet.

We are the dreamers, we are the creators,
Of this world's palettes, its shapes and contours,   
With conscience, courage, as navigators,
We remake the madness into sense that resonates
With truth, beauty, justice - these endures.

In unity we find destiny's power,
To paint our future's landscape in this hour,
With colors of hope, wisdom's dower,
We transform life's canvas, reshape its tower,
Into the artistry of love in flower.

The dance of dark and light continues eternal,
This dreamlike world carries on infernal,
But we walk ahead, strong, fraternal,
Righting each wrong, justice supernal,
Till goodness reigns, and no child walks in darkness.

Have courage friends, despair not yet,  
The light of love gleams above, forget not,
Through shadows, beyond chaos we can reset
The course of life, fate we can re-beget,
Dream a new world, where compassion is sunlight.

We are not players in a movie scene,
But reality's artists, vision's sheen,
With conscience clear, will pristine,
We recreate the world, make serene
The madness, trapped in between.

In unity we redeem life's meaning,
Beyond division, hatred screaming,
Instead let justice, truth be gleaming,  
Compassion as core, not greed teeming,
Thus we remake reality, love streaming.

This dreamlike world looms still in sight,  
But we walk ahead through the night,
Righting wrongs with all our might,
Till goodness reigns in spirit bright.

No hatred so deep to make love cease persist.

Recreate this world, where love gleams.
