In the end

A dream is all we had

By Nico

Come brother, stand here, right here beside me

As we join an everlasting fight, that sees no end.

Hiding among the flowers, his mother rises from

Prayer begging him. “Jordi, I see no end also,

Don’t fight like fools and parish in the dust, which

I know very well.” Puts one finger to his mouth,

And silently whispers to his mother. “Mama, for

Your prayer is for a weak man, who will parish anyway. Grabbing her

Hand and looks deeply into her eyes. “For I am not a fool, dear

Mama, I am just a man of equality and righteousness and I deserve

Dreams, and not the ones that were prescribed to me previously.” Slow

Tears, swallow into her cheeks as Jordi’s brother rises also. “If you shall go,

I just pray, I see your face among the dust before your pleasant dreams turn

To nightmares.” As she turns away he steps closer and says, “Fear mama,

Will eat at your soul, until you choke upon its grasp, if dust settles

And my face is not among the ones you recognize, then pray for your own

Dreams because I have realized mine.”
