this poem describes the ordeal of a junkie young boy with his own self and finally his emancipation.

THERE'S AN ENGINE SITTING ON STEROIDS 

THERE'S A WHIFF OF GASOLINE ALL OVER 

AS WALKER GETS READY FOR ANOTHER RIDE IN LIFE 

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO JUST DROWN OUT IN TEARS 

AND AS THE DAYS PASS BY 

DESCRIPTION DOES NOT SEEM TO FULFILL THE WHY 

THAT WHY... WHY DOES WHATSOEVER MIND GETS TO THINK ABOUT 

COMES TO LIFE ONLY... IN DREAMS? 

HOW CAN FACT REASON THE DEMONS IN THE HEAD? 

TEMPORARY HAPPINESS DEFIES IT ALL 

MONEY EXCHANGES HANDS AND 

NEVER REACHES THE PALMS WHICH IT ORIGINALLY LEFT? 

CONSTANT PAIN AND DISGRACE FAIL COURAGE 

EVEN THOUGH THE BEST SHOT IS GIVEN 

AND WHEN AN ESCAPE IS PLANNED 

WHY IS EXECUTED ONLY... IN DREAMS? 

WHAT IS THIS FEAR PAINTED ALL AROUND? 

HIDING THE SUNRISE, ECLIPSING THE MOONSHINE 

THIS FEAR OF REPUTATION, OF IT'S PROTECTION 

SENDING A MYSTIQUE THAT'S ONE OF IT'S OWN 

CAN THIS FEAR BE VAPORISED? 

CAN WALKER FACE THE MOB, THE ANGER WTIH COURAGE 

CAN HIS SELF-ESTEEM SURVIVE THIS ORDEAL 

OR JUST LEAVE WAITING FOR IT TO BE 

REALISED ... IN DREAMS? 

BUT LET THESE OCEANS RISE AND LET THE UNPROTECTED FORTRESSES FALL 

THE FINAL BATTLE WILL BE FAUGHT HERE ON EARTH 

EVERYDAY FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL 

AND EVERYONE WILL ARMAGEDDON IT 

NIGHTMARES WILL STOP AND THERE WILL BE PEACEFUL NGHTS 

THE DAY WHEN WE COME TOGETHER AS ONE 

AND THE ROMANCE OF IT ALL WILL BE THAT 

FIRST IT WILL COME TRUE... IN DREAMS... 

AND THEN... IN REALITY.
