Hopes and dreams

Lost dreams

By Melon ndlovuPublished about a year ago 1 min read

The dream of all, living in prosperity is a fantasy you could pay with your own life.

Shamed for embracing what has been forgotten.

Laughed for sharing your wisdom, with the less educated.

Judged for changing the path that convicts you for being your true being.

Looked down upon by those who forgot the richness of this land.

We claim to know what’s right yet we forgot the reason for living.

Ignorance runs the world like it’s a stampede.

The land of hope and dreams with an underlying fire within.

Who dares to continue the fight?
