Reveling In Fantasy

I could just sit for days,couldn't you?

Reveling in fantasy,

Allowing the real world topass me by,

Shading my eyes to reality.

 

Who wants to live in a worldcold with pain

Where sadness dwells on thesix o'clock news?

Where the wrangling manglingmadness of hate

Runs amuck in spite ofSociety's views;

Where rules stand fornothing,

And order is shunned,

And freedom is held at the pointof a gun;

Where common sense dies,

Compassion is lost,

And worth becomes measured byhow much is won.

 

I'd sooner imagine a differentworld.

I know it exists;

I've seen it before.

It tickles to laughter thesmile on your face,

And holds in its fingers thekey to a door

That opens revealing a roomfilled with glee

Where I can run reveling infantasy.
