by Ehsan Sehgal
The dreams always remain
And stay;
Green
Beautiful
Young
Loyal friend
Real companion
And that
Never unfair
Never hurt
Never angry
Never leave
Never demand
Nor conditions
That give me life
Strength and power
Let me live there
Please do not disturb
I do not want to awake
I do not want
To see the ugly reality
Of the world
And people.
