Poem about hopes and dreams.
Oh what pathetic lies
We humans tell
Just to ease our mortal souls.
That we'll achieve
Our greatest dreams
And reach our highest goals.
Oh what facetious hopes
Our hearts maintain;
The hopes of life,
The hopes of love,
The hopes of wealth and fame.
Oh what unnerving truth
We all ignore
But the world has shown us each.
We shouldn't put
Our goals so high
That they are out of reach.
