IS IT A DREAM?


Maybe life is not real

But a real big dream

Maybe my eyes will soon open...

At any moment, I値l realize

That I致e been dreaming for a long while


Maybe my dreams will take me

To a place far beyond or below

Or, to another world beyond the sky

Maybe I値l stop & think

Is this world really real?


For yesterday I saw three men killing three men

Today, three women and three children are ignored

But is that real? Or is it just another dream?

O how can human beings be so unreal?



Sometimes I close my eyes so tight

To deprive myself of seeing the world

I preferred to dream-dreams of my own globe

A place where love and kindness are still alive


O I know!

My warm hopes this dream will never slaughter

But in reality, my clock of life is ticking...tick, tick and tick

Here I'am forced to see them all as naturally wicked

They are hidden in fake accented love

Here I知 covered in tears, and in suffering

For our mothers and our sisters are crying for help

I wish I could help them all

Alas!



But at any precious minute now

I'll wake up...

Under the moonlight

I値l face this unreal world

I'll face the struggle

I'll face the lies and the senseless fights

I'll face the hunger and all their dominations too


Right now,

While I am standing here in this clashing field

I'll look up at you. I'll ask'

Why stay awake here in this world?

Then, I値l quickly reason

For the other globe may be no more!

For it too belongs to them


Then I'll wake up briskly into my real globe

In Somalia, in Ethiopia

In Mali, in Sudan

In Haiti "The Pearl"

They too are part of my world
