Dream

October 2, 2018 by San Quentin News Contributor

DREAM

Sense the smile of the milk,

touch it only in your mind;

Crave and savor but you can’t taste the cream.

Nature’s most powerful urge

beckons eat, indulge, enjoy!

But all you can do is DREAM.

Strap ‘elm all inside

this giant chastity belt,

sea to U.S. sea with nary a seam.

Lock ‘elm up, destroy the keys

that reproduce love and the lovely

So all they can do is DREAM.

“Hear no evil, see no evil”

taste-not, touch-not hypocrisy,

“Speak no evil!”  all the evil keepers scream!

But the craving joy to touch, to love, to give

and be loved, comes again

Still, all they get to do with it is DREAM

Pound them here, bash them there,

destroy, again destroy, destroy some more.

Don’t let them have one ounce of self-esteem.

But most of all the cardinal rule

is rule out the union love so lusts

Take it away, so they, can only DREAM.

No other animal on earth

so hunted, haunted, “hell” and hopeless 

“Cap the geysers! Heap sand upon the steam!”

of their natural spark, the pulse of love

life’s crowning joy

But they only get to feel it in a DREAM.

Bottle it up, repress it down

douse the birthright fires of passion.

“Block every prisoner’s natural flowing stream!”

(It’s natures way, expressing love

the highest height of all we have)

“So let them have it only in their DREAM!”
