So many | |||
Romantic | |||
Ideals | |||
Stories | |||
Learned from | |||
Schools | |||
Books | |||
Pretty pictures of | |||
How things are | |||
Supposed to be | |||
Wish they were | |||
Real | |||
Some semblance of | |||
Reality | |||
But it's all | |||
Merely | |||
Rhetoric | |||
Hiding the | |||
Injustice | |||
Inequity | |||
Hate | |||
How could they | |||
Get | |||
Away with it | |||
Distorting so much | |||
History | |||
Life | |||
Love | |||
Yet I still | |||
Hold | |||
On | |||
Thinking things | |||
Should be | |||
How they | |||
Taught me | |||
Dreaming | |||
Dreams of a | |||
World | |||
Ruled by | |||
Justice | |||
Equality | |||
Love |
