HOPE POEM: "DREAM ON" BY ABDULRAZAK MUHAMMED

Sleep off and dream on, 

It can't be changed else it'll add to it, 

Chances are slim and death weight seems light

Better to be dead

than live in this mess. 

Suicide squads are not at peace 

and it seems to be the greatest escape from here, 

my pen bleeds and begs for mercy

for my thoughts seem endless 

but my pages are numbered. 

Dream on, soldier boy

This war will still be retaking 

Dream on, The great Bard

Your truth still change no minds

Ohh!

Dream on, My boy

Life is better when you're asleep 

you'll enjoy pending the time you're in your dream 

The life you want might come

at the last minute, 

But soon enough you'll leave it all to be useless 

Lost and coned in a pitiful pit, 

Still begging for mercy

for life we had no agreement to live in, 

Rounded by rules to survive 

and even been dealt with for struggling 

to survive, 

Run wild and get it soon

the world always knock the wrong door

with worthless dime.

The poet persona speaks on the peace one gets when one is asleep. Yet, when man is awake again, he begins to face the struggles of life. Hence, one needs to work and dream on_no matter what.
