The Code

[John Barnett]

You don't need your shallow dreams
For nothing in life is what it seems
I have tried so hard to crack this code
To unlock the gifts that I behold
It's on my mind and it's in my heart
Somethings just tend to fall apart
While the world continues to spin around
Your foolish dreams will sink and drown
Blind faith is different from false belief
The weight of your soul seeks relief
And worries my friend, they weigh a ton
And will only restrict you in the long run
The method of theory is sometimes true
But it all evolves around the things we do
So interpret the words and reveal the signs
And understand the meaning of this cryptic rhyme

[SilverEyes]

You're right that everything in life is a double entendre but dreams are something that drive life and, at times, give hope.

[John Barnett]

If they are valid and realistic dreams....that's true. But fake and shallow dreams, not as much so.

[bloodredtears]

so many people have unrealistic dreams and the realistic ones even seem to bite us in the long run...i really enjoyed this poem...especially these two lines:

While the world continues to spin around
Your foolish dreams will sink and drown

i love it! great job!

[T.J. Barber]

Dreams give people drive,goals,and ambition. However, so many times those dremas reach beyond our grasp and we hurt ourselves trying to reach them. This was a great write. Good job,
