The Idealist's dream

The Idealist's dream

A Poem by PHFASCES

We are species
Constantly wounded by our ideals
Contradicting everything we do on a daily
Ideals we create just divide us
Even if the intention is to unite us
Blinded by greed,pride and our egos
Letting them take control of our conscious
Never waking up from these illusions
Yes, the ones our ancestors created for us
Constantly living life just to prove a point
Wasting life with certain goals that can be pointless
Always working to be better than the other
Doing the opposite of what we were meant to do
As much as minority brings up good ideals
Majority fears the change and blows them all away
When will we wake up and realise the illusion
And start building ourselves like we were meant to
But it's just a dream I try to put to action
And ignorance is a bliss to the foolish wise man too attached to the goal of materialism
I just want the day to arrive when we don't care about the money
Where we don't care about being better than the other
Or letting nationality,race and religion divide us
A day when i can wake up in shock and say
"Whew! It was just a dream"
