Dreams

everybody has a dream

or at least they did.
some people's dreams are so far gone that they can't even find 'em.
like i can't find Waldo.

little kids have dreams.
Mommy i want to be an astronaut.


they taught us that we could be anything
now it's pay attention,
get rid of that distraction,
and one day you can become part of a corporation
who doesn't give a crap about your inspiration
they only want your perspiration

give in to the industry hype
become more machine-like
give up on our dreams right?

what gets us to give up?
is it that monster inside of us?
the one that whispers fear in my ear at night.
you can't do it.
what if you fail?
go get a safe job.
be a dentist

i hate dentist's
they smell diabolical
with all their whirring gizmo's and expensive pain inflicters
ugh

why can't i live my dreams?
when did it become popular to follow the public?
worry about all the industries i need to please and making money instead of making life worth living?

eff them.
we are all gonna die.
we're just tap dancing on land mine.

don't let your dreams be dreams
don't become another casualty of society.
