Crazy dreams

 

 

My eyes close!

 

I am eating a fancy meal with Hitler and Jesus.

 

My eyes close!

 

I am making love to Ayn Rand. NOOOOOOOO!

The philosopher has now metamorphosed into a movie star.

 I am now making love to Marilyn Monroe,

YESSSSSSSSS!

 

My eyes close!

 

I am walking down a bland shopping street where only

homeless men are the mangers of the shops

and rich entrepreneurs stack shelf’s.

 

My eyes close!

 

A strange hideous animal is following me across a foggy bog.

It smells of greed and death, the animal not the bog.

It is wearing a grey suite, it has hardly any hair and

It defiantly has no soul.

It is an English politician.

 

My eyes close!

 

I drink a glass of brandy with Napoleon,

 a Shot of Vodka with Stalin,

 a bottle of whisky with Churchill,

 and a cellar of red wine with Mussolini.

 

My eyes close!

 

I wake up and I have to go to work and get

through another day in the dull, blandness

world of the 21st century.

 

               My eyes close!

WOW. You certainly don't shy away from writing with meaning and message. You're very upfront about your politicality, especially in this poem, and it's both refreshing and abrasive. If I were a shy-er girl, I'd be afraid of this poem.

Though I will say, I like that you're bold enough to make the exclamation point your b***h. Keep up the good work

I loved this. It reminds me of my day-dreaming, because I imagine everything different-how it should be, like this poem. I liked the force of your words conveyed in stark color, and the pictures they painted in my mind. Wonderful words:P

This just made me smile.. the balance throughout is perfect and to use the "my eyes close" pulls the reader in.. The ending slams life's reality at us.. Perfect...x

I love the different dreams that are depicted in this piece. The contrast between Hitler and Jesus is outstanding. It is like Satan and God at the same table. Now that would be rather scary. I like walking through your dreams as you are describing them and yes waking up can see dull and boring when sky is the limit in your dreams.
