Life Is Equally Dreams &nightmares Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

By Freeyad Ibrahim

Half of it is Dreams
The other half nightmars

The poor dream to be rich
Richness is their dream
When they become rich
They toil the whole life
to remain rich
Poverty becomes their nightmare

The sick dream to be healthy
Good health is their dream
When they become healthy
They care to remain healthy
the rest of their life
Sickness becomes their nightmare

The grievous dream to be happy
Happiness is their dream
When they get happy
They toil to remain happy
Sadness is their nightmare

The unlucky fight to be Lucky
Luck is their dream
When they become lucky
They toil to remain lucky
Unluckiness is their nightmare

The low struggles to be high
Highness is their dream
When they reach highness
Lowliness becomes their nightmare

The ugly dream to be beautiful
Beauty is their dream
If they become beautiful
Ugliness becomes their nightmare

Life is a big dream
Is a big lie
A constant 'cares' en 'bewares'
It's just a long sweet dream
Bittered by nightmares
