I Dream Poem by Fate McFate

In the void and vast of the night
I perceive a glimpse of victory, from the caged arena.
It's a spark like that of a cold wall
Democracy spoken by an autocrat.
I dream a dream of- no; a nightmare it is,
That the subjects share from their masters' plate.

I dreamt that I saw a stub of a petal
Though feeble but it's a promise at least
A promise of love.- its carcass of a thorn pricks
As that of a rose. A rose is a sign of love.

I love to dream bigger, more than the King
I don't feel at ease, I fear freedom
To be serene like the birds- imagine the nightingales
Their serenity created love to strangers who love sweet voices.
Is that freedom?

I wanna be a slave. That's my dream
Not an icon nor a byword
I don't desire bills to pay, maybe be in a metal crib.

But I dream about my kids
Let them farm in the orchards
Let them distribute roses to the streets and preach freedom
It's not a paradise here behind bars
I desire freedom- but of the next generation
I would dream to be free, but not today.
