The legend of Jake. Canto the first, verse two:

The world we know is nestled in a dream
And every dream contains more dreams within,
All dreamers, whether flesh and blood or tin
Must enter realms that are not what they seem.
Whenever hearts, however young and brave,
Set out one day, upon a noble quest
They see the world not plain, but at its best
For who can doubt the thing he fights to save?
We mortals die, but tales live forever
Thus tales told are magical indeed
Of epic quests, on rocket ship or steed
Made known by lyric verses sad or clever.
      But in that moment Jake knew only this:
      The world was dark, and something was amiss.

One thought on “The legend of Jake. Canto the first, verse two:”

  1. This is so refreshing to me — I feel that it neatly arranges the world as I know it.

    “For who can doubt the thing he fights to save?” — well, you would be surprised how many people will argue vigorously that they’re not protecting anything. ;D
