After the Murmur of the Children

In my dream there was a large flat plane filled with the murmur of children peacefully playing, and their parents discussing the days issues or, it must be said, maybe nothing at all. I began to settle in, surrendering to a calm revery, when over the horizon came a horde of jack booted thugs, marching to the rhythmic chant of my rights, freedom, my rights, freedom , trampling all who might stray into their path.
