Bombs dropped silently ...BOOM?Soft ScreamsGentle moans as limbs are lostAnd worlds go darkWe sleep as the storm rages
Boys and girls inject, and drink and shoot and devalue themselvesThey burn ... next doorWhile we sleep and the storm rages
Governments servicing themselvesRepresenting no one in particularWaiting for the climaxYet we sleep
Countries scream and tear themselves apart as we all spin on a single rockWe sleep as we balance between falling into the mushroomed ball and floating safely by
What will awaken us from this ‘Rip Van Winkle' to the realization that we are as temporary as the Rocky Mountains, the newborn lamb or the petal on the rose bush
Every action of every moment of each day, mattersAsleep or awake matters Email Eric Williams, MD
