Imagination is like a light bulb.
flash on so bright
hint me insights.
All the happiness in the world
I wish
make me not want to turn off the switch.
Children jump up and down
happily
like one big family.
Elders walk with full of strength
mentally strong
everywhere they go, they belong.
People gather together
to celebrate culture and religious
carry on their traditions.
They confidently express
their opinions and beliefs
life is so meaningful to live.
Imagination then sadden me
like a lightbulb that burn out
reality has brought out.
Kids scream
limited water and food
rarely have a happy mood.
Elders physically hurt
loss of memory
where goes all the energy?
People argue and fight
over little things
hateness brings.
Lack of courage
shut their lives down
not know until they drown.
Imagination
how dare you act like a lightning bugs?
Positivity
is what I want to see.
But why show me negativity?
Imagination
will you let me see all the good reality?
People’s happiness, can you guarantee?
I hope someday you will understand
so please let those souls dance.
For I know
I can only imagine.
I can only pray.
