            The Barter
            **********
    I bought a Dream today
   A written mirage captured my fascination
Money laid out on the table
The Anchient Gypsy said to me
"You cannot hold everything you dream"
I refused to believe him
And bought my dream today

I obtained a thought today
A bird of idea caught in a wire cage
My dream was the token
Used to secure its treasure
The old gypsy was right
A dream cannot be held
But only wished for

The thought grew and gre
Until it became a nation
Governed by a man
Insanity withou reason
I lived in the night mare
Of tyranny exchanged for a dream
