# Dream Turns Into Stone # Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

To dream is freedom binge

Instinctively or as willful hinge

It becomes something to hope for

As it gives inspiration to do more


God is merciful to everyone

But man has to do the errand

For none he can fully achieve

If his faith is not truly perceive


But greed becomes inherent

In man who is weak and dent

And who cannot hold devotion

Unable to find consummation


And reality soon unfolds the truth

In the end our struggles bring naught

Twinges the heart and breaks the tone

Dries up hope turning dream into stone
