Sleepers

It's been a hot minute since I've had a chance to write and make a post.. I've had this in the works for a while this summer on and off.. finally finished for now I think.

So let's get it goin on shall we?


Sleepers

Last day is on horizon
It was a marvelous run
Lazy days in the sun
Chasing our addiction

I hope you're ready
For what's to come
Keep on preying with
Your mouth sewn shut

For...

Evil always creeps
Evil never sleeps
Evil always needs
Evil surely feeds

On your life
On your charity
On your heart
On your spirit

You look to the skies
With your vacant eyes
Ignoring a shrinking cage
Welcome to a new feudal age

The long shadow rises
Spreading it's promises
Which are cancerous lies
Can't you see the disguise

You are the carbon
Slated for capture
Expect no reprieve
From coming cremation

Welcome to the churn
Distracted sleepers
The dream is over
You are gonna burn

For...

Evil always creeps
Evil never sleeps
Evil always needs
Evil surely feeds

Cool words👌 I envisaged every stanza as I read through the write up.

I love the part where you wrote "Evil never sleeps" that was really nice.

Great work

Why should a man even sleep in a world where he's haunted? Evil never sleeps, and this is a call to remain vigilant.
I find this poem a great article for awakening
