Dreaming of the Future from the Past

I dreamed a dream of innovation,
A flower that bloomed with new ideas,
A lady with power,
A man who knew his way.

I woke and saw the world,
A grapevine that winds itself like a play,
Improvisation,
A society that values creation.

I looked to the future,
A world that's always changing,
A game-changer,
A solution that's always new.

I saw the past,
A change that's always true,
A path to progress,
The future that we all deserve.

But I also saw the darkness,
The fear, the hatred, the despair.
I saw the obstacles,
The challenges, the setbacks.

And I wondered,
Could we overcome?
Could we create a better world?

I didn't know the answer,
But I knew one thing:
We had to try.

We had to dream.
We had to innovate.
We had to create.

We had to change the world.
