Lucid Dream

Look upon city once known by name,

ruins that I called home, streets swallowed by flame,
in time alive shell not witness
less of what should you understand,
reach on to hand of a stranger, scroll remain;
in signs that might be changing welcome,
different of a man.

When dawn awakes and there is no light,
upon dusk of man darkness will be spread by sight,
in time not different change will arise,
life we thought you knew,
death would recognize.

Hearts will bound to King without a Crown,
why do mothers shed tears, echo rooted in the ground,
is there reason of a foolish wars, contracts written in blood,
new born babies died breathless, can't even appreciate the Sun,
don't deserve to live, not worth of the land,
existence will be scattered in ashes,
you will be remembered
by name.

Beautifully crafted. Sad, but true and raw. I enjoyed it, makes one think :)

These new kings do not deserve a crown. Nicely crafted writing.

P.S. I enjoyed your self portrait.
