SOMEWHERE

Somewhere

Dreams are tied by tiresome sires

Like caught slaves in comfort caves

Serving the deserving who live in heaven

II

Somewhere

Dreams are being chased by an angry faced

Like a hungry lioness with sharp rawness

As it taunts in haunt to flaunt

III

Somewhere

Dreams beg on a leg

Like a beggar who holds a golden dagger

Calling for the blind hungered who lives always angered

IV

Somewhere

Dreams are like the sky so high

Puffing at its needer who is its reader

Sending signals which go into the needer’s hurtful annals

V

Somewhere

Most sit to boast as bitterness do them toast

Roasting like ripe plantain which can’t heat contain

Sending complaints of achievements of saints and taints

VI

Yet somewhere

It is all dark in black, no lack to brain rack

All slack to crack as ants track to stack

And in the dark, none marks, eloping has no hoping, somewhere
