Analogue Dreams. Poem by DEDAN ONYANGO

ANALOGUE DREAMS

Ever dreamt
But dreamt analogue dreams?
Dreams as dark as coal
Yet you find them cool!

I have been dreaming lately
Dreams immersed in the past
Where dignity was indeed dignified
Man was not heartless in my analogue world.

I have been dreaming lately
Of children running up and down
The green grass that nature nurtured
Now sky scrapers scratch the smoky heavens
And play stations are now the ups and downs
Where the young blood find delight.

Ever had dreams
Whose streams you can't resist
Yet time forces you to let go the past.

In my world I feel devoid
And I wish time can just stop
For me to swim back to my analogue dreams.
