Garden Dreams
Alleyway gardens where nectar is produced
Next to garbage bags, car parts, and latex condoms
I dream of dandelions, tulips, and water lilies
Instead I got cocaine, heroin, and weed
Now imagine that in your garden
Next to lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers
Sounds familiar? Look into my backyard
Oops, I don’t have one
I must be mistaken my alleyway for some type of plantation field
I see flowers but that’s only because of the weed smoke
But imagine me planting a garden
Planting seeds, so I can nurture them and watch them grow
Then see them get torn down
By the government’s plan to build a new stadium or court house
I dream of clear skies, bright eyes, and Heaven
Hoping for an end to Global Warming
Turn back the clock and erase all of Earth’s catastrophes
Imagine Earth as one big garden for everyone to feast off
Now look out your window and see the destruction
You’ll see it’s only a Garden Dream
