'The time has come' the Walrus said 'to think of other things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax. Of cabbages and kings. Of why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings.'


Why suck me into a reality
Where I don’t want to be?
Why show me something
That I obviously don’t want to see?

You tell me the things I can’t do.
What about the things I can?
You tell me I’m just a dreamer.
When did that become a sin?

Just because I see the world differently,
Should I be shunned?
Should I be treated as an outcast
Because I refuse to fight with a gun?

You hound me to snap out of it.
Do you really think you can break me?
My mind is working over time.
Can’t you see your mind is just lazy?

When I become a big deal in this world,
Will you come and tell me hello?
Well, if you do, will you be ashamed
When I say, I told you so?


The author's comments:

Today's culture is constantly putting down the "dreamers" of our generation. They can't seem to understand that some of us want to make it out of a dead-end small town and actually change the world.
