Dream

Dream (by Ahmad Babar):
All I wanted was to be alone
To have some time of my own
To touch the stars one last time
To recollect all that was mine
To walk away into wilderness
To rid myself of all of my bewilderments
To fly away into the night
To shine the way stars shine bright
To wipe away others' tears
For once to see the world crystal clear
To find out what everything meant
To wonder why in the first place I ever bent
To give love to those that never felt lit
To give back to life bit by bit
To cry for others' pain
For one night to feel insane
To break off my bounding
To be free of my surroundings
But I am still stuck here
With no one around that even cares
With people running after their wants
Hiding smiles and passing around taunts
With money being everything
And love left without it's meaning
With power being the ultimate
And people trying to play with others' fate
With stray souls all around
Tramping over others' ground
And I am helpless for I am bound
My lips sealed by the absence of sound
No one dares to take a stand
No one really understands
And in my heart I pray
For the ones gone astray
I wish for all to be like what I dream
For the world to see what it has never seen
For there to be love and peace all around
From the heights of the skies to the depths of the ground
