Nightmare

Nightmare
By: Adam M. Snow

We are but a dream for the dreamed;
only to realize that we have been redeemed;
to be hopeless nor do I be the same;
for in this dream, I have no name;
for my words remain unspoken;
when all I am is broken.

There's no darkness nor is there light;
for this world can be seen in daylight not just the night.
In this world the water is black yet the sky is red;
for we are all full of dread.
There's so much fear and agony here;
for it feels like our end is near.

Is this but a nightmare of reality?
If so this is brutality;
for I see the people stopped to pray;
'Have we lost our way?'
