Wake Me Up

 

 

Wake me up

When peace is near

When petty differences

Have all disappeared

Wake me up

When complaints aren't valid

When the owner of faith

Has cast its ballot

Wake me up

When positive is king

When negative is beheaded

And all the land doth sing

Wake me up

When love is cherished

When evil gave up

And hate finally perished

Wake me up

When that new day begins

For today passed away

When it let yesterday in.

Amazing!! Truly amazing!! Brilliant!! Superb!! Fantastic!! Terrific!! AWESOME!!
Whoa! I'm out of appreciative words.....lol
This was, as I already said, amazing. Capturing that perfect yesterday which we all long for in such a vivid and descriptive way, I'm bound by some spell.
This can be a magical chant to go back to those heavenly times.
The rhyme scheme is my fav, as always....

Beautiful, simply beautiful and amazing words of hope... I know thats a world I want to wake up to also and raise a glass and toast to that... for now we can only dream it but keep the faith or else all hope is lost... Your words are inspirational, inspiring and divinely poetic.

Excellent! It's like a lengthy parable...great Irony in the waking up, since the author is clearly awake enough to write it/realize it.

When positive is king
When negative is beheaded
And all the land doth sing

great image! Very black and white, AC/DC, and Chess. How was the nap after this?

It would be nice to not have to see the evils of the world , the ugliness of people , the pains of our children, the suffering of the ill. the hunger of the poor. In a perfect world we would know piece and from the sky would rain joy. Your poem is tender and has a certain amount of innocence to it and as you know , life without pain would be pure heaven on earth.Your poem is short but arouses your readers from ignorance of the true meaning of peace. Wonderful poetry as always my dear friend.

This was a fabulous peice of work. I too read it over and over, and would it not be nice to lay down in bed to roll over the next morning and the world (as john lennon put it) would be as one.

I read this 4 times � I could not been happier!

Walk to the podium and claim your crown

It would be nice to sleep through the chaos, wouldn't it? LOL But we are awake, and to remain awake and aware is the key. You are one who is helping to bring the new day of peace, Dani, cause you are awake. Much love to you, beautiful lady......

In our time today, realistically speaking, the character will probably sleep longer. you have a fascinating use of words and ideas! everyone's so tired of the sickening bad things that they just wanna sleep on it, and wake up in a better situation. a very thought-provoking poem, :)
