A dream

A man with a dream,
A woman with a cure.
The bee stings,
The dam will break at dawn.
someday it will happen,
Someday it will begin.
The water is pure.
The bird sings a song,
A child listens,
And the dream becomes reality.
Whoosh says the water,
Coming down the river.
The bee sting hurts, but only for a while.
All will be well.

Look out your front window and what do you see?
The tall tree growing with apples undernieth?
The sky so blue, It's a blinding sight.
Oh, no that would be the sun shining so bright.
The fluffy white cloud that will be grey by tomorrow.
The rocks and boulders; pebbles and sand.
The car in the drive, waiting to be drivin.
The road that has no end.
And when you come back to the reality inside,
You see nothing at all worth your eyes.

Lazy Pete, lazy Pete,
Get up! Get up!
Do you not see that the day
Is waiting for you?
Come and enjoy
The sun and the grass.
Why are you sitting there still?
It's time to take a walk,
Go play a fun game,
Run with the wind.
Lazy Pete, lazy Pete,
Are you okay?

 

Homelessness

I want to go home,
But I have no home,
This is my home now.
There is no lock on the door,
There isn't even a door.
There are no windows to open
And feel the nice breeze.
There is no bed,
just some rags.
I sleep with absolutely no ease.
I wonder if I can afford
To stay somewhere, someday.
With a sturdy roof
That will keep the rain away.
But I know the truth:
This will not come true.
Because there are so many others
Still looking for jobs.
Why hire a bum?
