Hear !

This potion calling dreaming:
is the hope of the world.

And when the people start hoping:
it means that love has unfurled.

With them both under the line of down,
this thing we call evil shall be hurled.

For one day, under the apricot sun,
we will finally glimpse a loosened burl.

Which will open an escape;
to the apotheosis of gold.

Which will carry a chain,
of treasure chests never mauled.

Filled with diamonds and gems,
—or so I have been told.

For under all its' treachery,
the world it does hold.

In its beautiful hands,
corrupted by naïvety's demands.
