In the deafening silence, I could hear the children crying
I tried to wake up to a cruel world but then realized it is not a good idea
There were politicians shouting and scientists running experiments
There were musicians coying and the rest pretending to be indifferent
There were people in the street protesting murder and the rest
There were emotions that ran high in the midst of a feeling of loss
But then feelings remain undefined and likely unsatisfied
There were people who did not have a clue but they knew better than most
There were people with knowledge who appeared ignorant
I tried to open my eyes but it appeared sewed shut for ever
I tried to think but my brain had departed a long time ago
I tried to move but then it took energy that was not available
I tried to dream but it needed disconnection from reality
For reality was real and dreams, apparently not
I saw images from the past and figures from the future
I could travel in time till I drop dead forever
I could float in the air and defy gravity
Only till I fall into the depth of ignorance
I could imagine a world that worked for everybody
But I am sure I don’t want to live such as classes mattered
As democracies die and autocrats rise to capture the imagination
Guys with hair and gals less so, became one for the same
The sun rose again and the moon descended to hell
As if it will happen again and again
Time is limited, ambitions less so
Legacy needs the recording of history
As the feeble checkout and the strong make speeches
It is clear that humans can’t go anywhere
