Dare to Dream

Neil Kinsey-Fagan

Dare to Dream

Do you ever dare to dream
sit quietly and watch a magical scene
images play around in your mind
suck you in and burn all of your time.

What would the world be, without the dreamers
the creators, visionaries, futurists and believers
we wouldn’t progress, we wouldn’t evolve
no plans for a future they simply dissolve.

Is it a gift or is it a curse?
as you spend time on a plane that isn’t perverse
dreaming of cities that reach to the sky
of food for the populace where loved ones don’t die.

It’s a world of your making
that you can’t stop creating
welfare for all, no hunger, no wars
a gift to the future a beautiful outdoors.

Ignore all the doomsters the futures not written
as they crow and they croak like demented bitterns
we live on a sphere that’s majestic and bright
people bring their darkness and extinguish the light.

Hold in your mind a picture of splendour
and dream of a world that is beautiful and tender
a world where all species live side by side
habitats are protected no genocide.

Dream all those dreams, write them down, shout them out
change the world we live in, make your voice count
the future is ours to shape and evolve
don’t sit in your room, steel your resolve.

Stand on the roof tops, expand your mind
reach out to the cosmos don’t sit their blind
you can make a difference, you can make the change
the dreamers and visionaries need to get into the game.
