         A\n\u2018Too Realistic\u2019 Dream<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a terrible nightmare last night.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So scary, it gave me quite a fright.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t breathe, the smoke was thick.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild fires all around someone had lit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned on the TV & heard bad news.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pandemic was happening. Paint me blue.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even earthquakes in diverse places.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was hot as hell. Sweat on their faces.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riots & demonstrations going on now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some were bellowing like a cow.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upheaval & destruction everywhere.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, I couldn\u2019t get air.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the hell is going on here?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It won\u2019t end well, that I fear.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone was wearing masks.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still coughing, choking, & making gasps.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I expected zombies to arrive at any time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brain eaters were no friend of mine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I screamed & ran & banged into things.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power went off; rolling blackout it seems.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At last I finally awoke.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0When a voice said \u201dIt\u2019s time to vote.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
