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 (Yesayah)Fania Simon 06 01 02  | ||

A poignant poem, Yesaya. Philosophers and prophets have pondered for ages the possibility of life being a dream from which we all awake once we "die". I, myself, am very intrigued by this idea. Poet Edgar Allen Poe wrote: "all that we seem or seem, is but a dream within a dream." And I am also struck by the hidden wisdom and symbolism of a simple verse from the old round song which goes: "Row, row, row, your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream..." | ||
