DON'T FALL ASLEEPCan you hear the trains at night?
I can hear them as I write this poem.
There are worlds beneath your feet,
With highways more sophisticated than our own.
Can you hear the children screaming?
They're chained in caves
Paved in gold.
And in these ancient dwellings,
Is technology that makes ours seem old.
Repeat after the Priest's chants!
The Priest chants
He chants
Chants
CHANTS!
Or they'll rip you apart
Once they feel
That you're weak,
And you
CAN'T.
Say your prayers in your mind,
Or simply amplify
Your inner cat -
The trains are moving fast
They're moving fast
Moving fast
Moving
Fast
Fast
FAST
And they're building armies
Under the ground
And hoarding resources
Like ants.
They're like ants
Moving fast
Moving
Fast
Fast
Fast
FAST
Fast asleep now
Sleep now
Fast
A-SLEEP
Sleep now
SLEEP
SLEEP NOW
Sleep
Fast.
