Pretty Sight

by Al   Jan 14, 2007


It's such a pretty sight
When the world does not lie
When the people do not die
When the children do not cry
When the wars been put a side
When the golden sun shines

When the evil creature's gone
When the people found a song
Song that sings this tune along
When the shadows are all gone
When the river has a flow
Showing life before it goes
When the demons fall asleep
When we feel the pain relief
When we finally see the gift
Realizing we're adrift
When we wake up from this sleep
When we see a smiling kid
reassuring with painful kicks
That this truth is not a lie

But in the end we've been asleep
With the lies in our dreams
As painful as this seems, we're not far from heaven dreams
Where we all go back to sleep and forget all that exists
That was a pretty sight
Now wake up and realize that we live a lie.

    I like the way this moves along, and the way you've used some pretty cliched rhyming without it sounding trite. But I question the repetition of "dream" in the last stanza. It seems to me you were struggling to bring the poem to a conclusion.
