I had a dream, and I was on the precipice
\nThe rocks were keen and steep, I clutched them with my life.
\nLooked below, dread the abyss deep.
\nThe piece of bread seized \u2018tween my tattered fingers,
\nBecause I was \u2018fraid to let go the crump
\nLest all go hungry and vain..
\nAs I moved down edging,
\nAfraid of the slide and the fall any moment to come
\nThe ground beneath my feet
\nne\u2019er reached me soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a dream, and I saw the dead
\nRotten and dried cadaver of men and women
\nHung on the string like meat put to dry
\nMummies, beyond reckon, and couldn\u2019t know who they where,
\nand why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a dream, and I saw the deluge.
\nOf gushing water that took me down
\nI gasped in the swirl, knowing not what-
\nthe whirl held for me, down under.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a dream, and I saw the dawn
\nraise me in her arms, coddle me long
\nI woke up in time,
\nand saw it was morn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
