Reborn

(Dream sequence. A large spaceship moves through the cosmos. We enter in to find a group of armed futuristic looking soldiers quickly moving a cargo box unto the ship’s freight. Across the box in large blue letters is sprayed: ‘’DREAM’’)

Reborn

(Captain’s room. The soldiers report before the ship’s captain, saluting him as they enter and stand before a huskee man wearing a skull’s eye patch)

Ship captain: well? Any signs of life?

Soldier 1: No sir

Soldier 2: Checked all of his vital signs sir.

(The captain lights a cigar.)

Ship captain: The transfer to space must have proven too much for him.  

Soldier 3: Looks like it sir.

(The captain blows a puff of smoke, lowering the cigar)

Ship Captain: A shame too, the military could really use a man like Dream….

(Suddenly the ship’s alarm sounds frantically alerting the soldiers to duty)

Ship Captain: The freight room! Check the freight room!

(The soldiers rush into the room where Dream’s cargo is stored, only to find it torn asunder, as if by some powerful alien force. Now Dream hovers down before them, glowing with a crystal blue radiance)

Dream: My power is too great to be used…there must be compromise…

(Dream’s body begins to convulse, quaking the very compound of the spaceship itself)

Soldier 4: Stand back! Stand back! That’s an order!

(Some heed to that order, while others fire their laser guns, none of which effect Dream in the slightest.)

Soldier: Hold your fire! I said hold your fire!

(Dream continues to convulse then suddenly breaks into dance as a rock chord emerges)

I am 

A little bit of dissonance

A little bit of writer noir

Career full of 

praise

But can’t help the fact that

No one can see 

these

scars

I am 

 As Dream

Not even a bit insecure

The original Dream

To want

The literary tool

That haunts

No matter what I do

What I reveal

Just believe this is

Real

So no

don’t let go

Embrace these words

Because you always knew

I’m everything you think I am not

I  am the pen and I will not

Stop

I’m no fake

My pen it has a  way

My pen it has a way

It won’t be ignored

Time is the bandage

To restore

My pen it has a way

It wont be ignored

(Dream somersaults into the air as the military soldiers fire at him relentlessly now. He continues to radiate in his crystal blue glow)

I am

That little bit of dissonance

That little bit of innocence

No one could understand

Dream is more than a man

Though sometimes it won’t 

Make sense

That’s why

I keep my led full of ink

Audience ever on the brink

Embrace these words

Because you always knew

I’m everything you think I am not

I  am the pen and I will not

Stop

I’m no fake

My pen it has a  way

My pen it has a way

It won’t be ignored

Time is the bandage

To restore

My pen it has a way

It wont be ignored
