A Man Reprieved

I cough up grey dust

i look up and see
that all kings are dead

and that we're finally free

i stare at the joy in everyone's eyes

they tell me they also can see it in mine

am i dreaming?

i must be dreaming!

i always thought that there was more to life

than money, and working

that other things had value

food under lock and key

this can't be this can't be

this can not be

we're finally free


BUT I MUST BE DREAMING
