Thelian Dream

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published



Choreography
of a man who never planned to stay—
a dream built to break on impact.

A prophecy,
a rehearsed reality,
injected with a fantasy
of limitless growth.

To young
this future was sold
with bullshit so bold,
made by the old,
it could never hold.

Cashing out before the crash,
leaving believers clutching their stash
of dissolved promises,
in the wake of collapse.

Despite the stealing,
we keep dreaming—
this Thelian dream.
