Love A New World Is Rising From The Dust

A NEW WORLD IS RISING FROM THE DUST

by ROBERT DAVIDSON

Something new is happening in the world today
You can feel it throbbing in the air
Not even a climate change can break our will
'Cause we've seen the writing on the wall.
It's time, they're chanting. for a new age of hope
'Cause we've all learned how to trust.
You can even touch it with your out-stretched hand -
A new world is rising from the dust.

But then I awoke from my nightly dream
I was trying so hard not to scream.
The world was not at all as I would have it seem.

We're all learning to trust the brotherhood of man
You can feel it throbbing in the air
Not even terror-bombs can kill our new-found joy
'Cause this is the time for a brave world new.
An earthquake breaks the old order all apart
'Cause it's all decay and full of rust.
People no more crying 'cause they're sad or poor -
A new world is rising from the dust.

But then I awoke from my nightly dream
I was trying so hard not to scream.
The world was not at all as I would have it seem.

We're all stretching out a kind neighbourly hand
You can feel it throbbing in the air
Not even a tidal wave can break our bond of love
'Cause we've seen the writing on the wall.
Hurricanes blow the old beliefs all apart
We know for sure we're never gonna bust.
People no more crying now they're rich and free -
A new world is rising from the dust.

And then I awoke from my nightly dream
I was trying so hard not to scream.
The world was not at all as I would have it seem.

ROBERT DAVIDSON, if that is your real name, I like it. I like it a lot.

The structure is interesting and challenging, even if the rhyming scheme is occasionally inconsistent. I also like the sentiment, even if it doesn't ring as true to life as I would like it. Unless, of course, each stanza is the dream and the 3 line intervals are reality, as you perceive it. If this is the case, then I find it a little too pessimistic, but still highly interesting and a welcome break from the ususal dirge that is slopped around here.

Good stuff.

But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
