Poem: Let Us Wake-Up

       Let us wake-up

Over five decades we still sleep
On a bed socked of our urine
Salivating as we snore
Carried away by black illusion
Into the world our fantasies
Through the road of positive imagination

Wonderful world we see in our dreams
Filled with honey and cream
Making desert turn rain forest
Letting our touches gives gold
In our hell we now see paradise

It is right the time!
Let us wake up
From self accursed slumber
With strong determination
Only then can we achieve great satisfaction
For a brighter future
That awaits us the new generation

I asked myself as I was ...
