A Dream I Dreamed

I dreamed a dream where bears stood on two legs They roared and they screamed and they fought like beasts Mindless and feral, they cared not for each other I dreamed a dream of black and white Darkest blacks and whitest whites Never mixing, never gray I dreamed a dream of polar bears They stood in groups, stoic and stubborn I dreamed a dream of black bears Docile and strong, they banded together I dreamed a dream of dreaming Where dreaming was believing and believing was dreaming Something that could be changed and there was more To my dream than just dreaming because when I stopped to look I noticed there were others dreaming the same dream And to my amazement and surprise my dream wasn't a dream And polar bears and black bears became brown bears And in my non-dream they lived in harmony But before I could enjoy this non-dream I found myself in another dream One I couldn't escape because I couldn't open my eyes to see the dream I dreamed
