Sometimes a sight is just enough!!!

Here I am laying on my bed,
Thinking of something that I said to none.
Still not sure if it’s right or wrong,
But something is giving me affirmation it being my favourite song.

Slowly light started fading out,
I could see darkness all over, oh wait! should I shout?
I guess no, ‘cause I saw a ray, a ray of hope,
Am I going to die? My mind said nope.

Oh! I was right; now I just woke up in a different world
Yes, this is what I wanted I thought and twirled.
I saw a world where I was free, free in my actions
Where I could make people smile and they gave me their affection.

All I ever taught and wished for humanity in its true sense
And for that I was determined to cross any fence.
But here I am standing in a utopian society,
Am I dreaming or is it just the grace of ‘Almighty’?

I pinched myself and soon regretted,
Thought it was just a dream that can’t be repeated.
Back I was in a place,
Where people are still being judged by their race.

I peeped outside my window, something that caught my eye,
A man shivering in cold and his breath saying him goodbye.
There came a little boy with a blanket and some food,
Saying, Oh! Grandpa don’t worry you will be all good.

Yes, I was mistaken, humanity still existed
My heart said it but head still persisted.
I would make my dream come true one day,
And will be confident enough to say my head was wrong that day!!

Dream is not just a mere sight;
It’s an emotion and inspiration but a fuel in your flight!!
