butterfly dream

A boy watches a butterfly’s wings

Above the land where freedom rings

In this land that is yours

And this land that is mine

If you ask him “How are you?”

He’ll tell you “Not fine”

The butterfly was smothered, completely crushed

He fell out of the sky and then turned to dust

An evil voice laughs in the distance

Carelessly playing with everyone’s existence

On an island, where the sun is shining

Not a cloud in the sky, no silver lining

Things are not what they seem

Children laughing, enjoying ice cream

The boy reaches out 

But they say it’s a dream

Colorful flavors in cones and in cups

They whisper to him “Wake up”

 WAKE UP!
