Leaders Dream In Color
by
Chris Lahren
Was of a neutral color, land of heroes and inverted
rainbows united. It was written in epiphany, a call
to connect with the age of reason,
to reflect and initiate new words.
And the oaks trees became our fires inside,
full of intense synaptic connections.
Believe all that you feel before it's thought away.
The sway of dizziness provoked a sick afterthought.
World of whiskey and other conditions of learned reflex.
World spins yet no one falls down, and the ground
breaks the fall from our dreams.
The man on the hill lights up the field beneath him,
it's full of famine.
Don't you think we should fill fields with food
before it's filled with famine?
