How Sleep Thee

How sleep thee brother?

How does your slumber go?

 

Does your conscience prick

Each time you close your eyes?

Can you live with the filth you pedal

The deceit, the destruction and despise.

 

A bag o brown man

Ten pound a go

How sleep you brother

Knowing they stole Christmas presents

In the snow.

 

How sleep thee brother?

When you see souls waste

When you see the addiction

Grow apace.

 

And when worlds collide

And another son or daughter crashes

Do you even take the time to

To read the days despatches.
