A Long Dream

I open my eyes; I can't resist, I think to myself is this world real, does it really exist.
I look around and all I see are shallow people, surrounded in misery, some by choice, some by fate, and some who just saw hate.
I ponder at the sky, a jewel glittering collage; it sometimes plays tricks on me, as though I've seen an endless mirage.
It's a never ending wonderment, it speaks the truth to what this world once condoned, but now is constrained and not even close to being maintained.
I close my eyes in a dire hope of aspiration, and pray to the gods that it was only A LONG DREAM, but to my dismay, it's only been another day.
