Dreamed.

I dreamed a dream and in that dream, 
I dreamed that I had dreamed a dream, 
Of hope and fairytales come true, 
I dreamed a dream and thought of truth, 
I dreamed a dream of life and love, 
Of fate and angels and God above, 
I dreamed a dream of good wishes and friends, 
I dreamed a dream I dreaded to end, 
But then I woke into my dream, 
I dreamed I woke in a world obscene, 
I dreamed a dream of violence and hate, 
And once again I dreamed of fate, 
I dreamed a dream of terror and fear, 
I dreamed that each word went unheard, 
And so children never spoke a word, 
I dreamed a dream of demons and beasts, 
I dreamed a dream that ended at last, 
I woke in my bed and wondered if, 
I dreamed a dream of dreams or if, 
I dreamed a dream of truth that night, 
And if so I wondered which was truth, 
And which was merely a dream.
