DREAM

Is life
What dream
Is made of?

Or
Dream
What life
Is made of?

When I am
Under the weather
I wish I am
In a constant
And
Unending
State of dream

Avoid reality
Swim
In the beach
Of dream

Until hit by
Unbearable
Actuality
Flash back
Reflecting
Reality

Dream
Can mirror
Our
Wishful thinking

Can be an
Incentive
Or
Drive for
Realising
Our
Actual thinking

Day & night
I was
In constant
State of dream

Lost in thought
While immersed
In my dream

A shadowy figure
Suddenly appeared
From a hazy cloud

Whispered
Was
Persuasive
I concurred

My ear heard
Loud & clear
Though not loud

Give! give ...
To the poor & needy
What little I have
I gave away

But was rudely
Awakened by
A commotion

Witnessed
People drinking
Heavily

Misbehaving
Abusing
Passers-bys

My savings
Mis-used
Mis-spent

I shouted
Lost hope
Desire
To help reduced

Realised
Money not earned
From tears & sweat
Can be mis-spent

I know
Money earned
From
Tears & sweat
Is guarded
Like life itself
Respected

Dream
As a fantasy
Or
Unrealistic wish
I like

But this dream
I hate
For the
False
Untargeted advice
I discovered
To be
Untrue and unkind
