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.
