Kevin Lander's Nightmare

by Twan - Aries

society becomes congress
society becomes jesse helms
the worst nightmare of kevin's life
has been realized
hollywood has become the ruling body
they have the most influence
fred durst overthrows the government

kevin lander is saner than many people realize
also much closer to the truth
the evidence is right there

the soggy ground we tread upon
he never saw the devastation that fear has wreaked
and kevin lander sways in the wind 
before realizing that his nightmare has become reality

and than he wakes up
to see it was just a dream
and just like that
he smiles
a nightmare that was just R.E.M
and not the one with michael stipe
this is still the america kevin loves
and hates alternately
but its better than that dream
or nothing at all.

Reason for writing:

    kevin, i like your poetry a lot. thing is, you hit on the truth a lot
and there are people out there who don't like that. so fuck em!!
