Bogus Dreams
A life-escape
When I am not awake
They are energy wasters
And unreality tasters
Loved ones are betrayed
Family is remade
To a forbidden place I fly
To watch prudence and respect die
Scenes which I know must not be
Are like addicting wine to me
Waking up a cruel trick
Dreams’ utopia doesn’t stick
Rescue me from my dreams, Lord
May this life be embraced, adored
Not for days devoid of pain
But for your plan of eternal gain
Sleep is friend, but dreams are foe
If by them I leave God’s will that I know
