Dreams

               I'm feeling poetic today...
             

                  A Choice

I lay awake amidst the midnight stars,
Shining bright , leaving scars.
A reminder of my cruel existence,
As they tease me from the distance.

For here lay my dreams, hopes and ambitions,
Crushed by the claws of  every nation.
I'm trapped in a world that breeds it's ignorance,
Driven by rivalries, hatred and vengeance.

I wish to venture this unknown frontier,
But in such an age, I have much to fear.

And so I live as a speck of dust,
And in our compassion I have to trust,

For if in peace we cannot embrace,
Forever lost, we'll be in space.
