As I laid down to sleep I had a nightmare.

I was brought to a world that I could not bare.

People treated so badly, it truly wasn't fair

and the ones who could change things, were the ones who didn't care.

As I explored this place things seemed to get worse.

So many problems too complex for me alone to reverse.

I began to wonder if maybe this world were cursed.

All the lost lives with no way to reimburse.

I was searching for peace in this world so new to me.

I felt as though I was the only one who could see

this world was filled with such misery.

I knew this wasn't the way it could be.

The problems in this world were beyond what I excpected.

These people needed help but all they got was neglected.

Noone capable of helping, seemed to care the way I did.

Which explains how every problem in this world was connected.

Children go to sleep hungry, so every night they cry.

People fighting wars but do they really know why?

The ignorance around me due to candy-coated lies.

It's all connected by the people who don't bother to try.

I was feeling so useless, my mind filling with doubt.

This nightmare wouldn't let up, I just wanted to get out.

Was there a message in this?  

What was this all about?

What's the message behind starvation, wars and droughts?

There was nothing I could do, all my ideas now supposed.

My ability to leave seemed to be forclosed.

Suddenly I realized why my leaving was opposed.

For this nightmare is my world

.... my eyes were never closed.
