Poetry: “She Dreamed a Dream”
Mamady Magassouba | On 08, May 2019
She dreamed a dream and in that dream,
She dreamed that She had dreamed a dream,
Of hope and fairytales come true,
She dreamed a dream and thought of truth,
She dreamed a dream of life and love,
Of fate and angels and God above,
She dreamed a dream of good wishes and friends,
She dreamed a dream She dreaded to end,
But then She woke into her dream,
She dreamed She woke in a world obscene,
She dreamed a dream of violence and hate,
And once again She dreamed of fate,
She dreamed a dream of terror and fear,
She dreamed that each word went unheard,
And so children never spoke a word,
She dreamed a dream of demons and beasts,
She dreamed a dream that ended at last,
She woke in my bed and wondered if,
She dreamed a dream of dreams or if,
She dreamed a dream of truth that night.
