The dreamland comes as I close my eyes Take me from the forbidden lands that I despise Where all semblance of conflict dies Where the spirits of the night improvise,
The ultimate escape from the daylight hours Where I might just witness meteor showers Where the darkness yields moonlit flowers Where nocturnal spirits watch from shimmering towers,
I’ve managed to evade this adversarial atmosphere Once I close my eyes it all becomes clear The shadows bring uncertainty and fear But for me it’s just superficial veneer,
Revolving in our own separate universe As words become indifferent and terse I know each façade by verse As I escape the waking world and become immersed,
Excuse me if I don’t join in the war If I refuse your decadent lust for more I’ll simply watch you self-destruct from the shore You terrorists and race baiters have become a bore,
If I have only one life to give It would be so others could live Human nature is the monster we must learn to handle Just as life can be snuffed like a candle.
The Escape
by Doc Vega
yesterday
Take me from the forbidden lands that I despise
Where all semblance of conflict dies
Where the spirits of the night improvise,
The ultimate escape from the daylight hours
Where I might just witness meteor showers
Where the darkness yields moonlit flowers
Where nocturnal spirits watch from shimmering towers,
I’ve managed to evade this adversarial atmosphere
Once I close my eyes it all becomes clear
The shadows bring uncertainty and fear
But for me it’s just superficial veneer,
Revolving in our own separate universe
As words become indifferent and terse
I know each façade by verse
As I escape the waking world and become immersed,
Excuse me if I don’t join in the war
If I refuse your decadent lust for more
I’ll simply watch you self-destruct from the shore
You terrorists and race baiters have become a bore,
If I have only one life to give
It would be so others could live
Human nature is the monster we must learn to handle
Just as life can be snuffed like a candle.
