Oakland Dreams

A Poem by butterfly
"

Ode to Oakland, CA where everyone is scared to roam but only the brave can call home

"
I got lost in the cerulean eyes of you
No one knows you like i do
The hazel moon light skies
Covered by corruption and crime
They never paint your loveliness in the headlines
We walk around the lake hand in hand
we can only understand
the beauty where the oak trees once did grow
Where do they go we long to know
the sick conditions from the weather
made them disappear forever
or so it seems
but if you look deeper in the grove
surrounded by the bonsai
you will see the oak tree lit up under the moon filled sky
where it chooses to hide
safe from the crime
breathing out life breathing in divine light
where Oakland dreams
as she is lit up like a postcard
the natives dance around her with a full heart
for only we can understand
as we walk around the lake hand in hand
Oakland is a beautiful land
We won’t allow them to erase your name
SFO part 2 sounds a little insane
Why do people govern this way?
we lost the sports but they were dying anyway
this can be humans always sell out for the glittery
but Oakland shines bright like a Diamond always
only the true natives see the shine
as we walk hand in hand for all time…
