Had It been?



Had it been?
Had it been the type of Being I wanted to be?
The type of Being I am,
Must be!
Because I don't want to be a prosperous Being.

I dream to be one!
But not work to be.
Fantasy is my mind.
Fancy is my tongue.
Lazy are my hands.
Poorer I shall be.

Had it been?
Had it been, fantasy was employed.
Fancy was implemented.
Laziness was deplored.

Then My dream Being,
I shall be.
Dreams hult when awakened.
Dreams build up when we work up.
Dreams turn reality,
Only if work ups meet golden opportunities.
Then I shall admit, “It had been”.
Rather than “Had It Been?.”
