dreams are not real

they force us to

live in the past

live in the futre

live in the Alternate

you cant survive

on false images

and false promises

it tears your

hopes away

consumes your life

drains your love

you cant see whats happening

you forget your friends

lose your job

abandon your children

to live in the world

of make-believe

of never-ending

of hate and cruelty

because you feel safe

warm whole

its false

it wont release you

dont stray there

you wont return

...atleast not alive
