I had a Nightmare

My 'I have a Dream' struck off the composing cord in my friend. His is such a beautiful piece that I simply cannot resist placing it on my blog.

Mine pales in comparison.


I had a Nightmare
(A Pessimistic Geriatric view to "I Have a Dream")
Author: WLiang

I had a nightmare
Where I was old and frail
Lost in the footsteps of modernization
Hearing machines hum and vehicles rumble by

A leaf landed on my feet
A yellowed leaf it was
I remember I was once green and vibrant too
Vowing to grow up strong and lush and be the vibrant me

But I let it crumble in my grasp
into golden pieces for the fertile land once more
Oh if only I can turn back the hands of time
To relive those energetic sparks again

As I walk down the boardwalk now
In pursuit of that fountain of eternal youth
Longing for times gone by
If I should end then... end.
