Let me sleep

Let me sleep
on the road in my concrete jungle
between the uptight mass
and their exhausted fumes
in between the projects
that shows their potency
(de)monetary structures dictating us
where to long for.

Leave me alone
if you cut down our ancient forest
when you start to play with the water
to drive to your office , because
you lost your own energy.
Leave me alone
when you walk unaware
through our fields of fragile flowers
and let our children bleed
in your overproducing chemical factory
if you dump the poison you can’t use no more
and I have find it in my bowl of soup.

Let me rest
with an empty stomach
when I take a bite from the wind.
Let me rest
in my drunken dreams
when I drown
in the silver lining of the moon
don’t wake me no more
when I am
let me stay in my ecstasy
my eternity.

Don’t wake me no more
when you keep blowing up
your brothers and sisters.
Don’t wake me
when you empty your weapons
on the sinful ignorant baby’s
lost in lethargy
and you stuff them with little blue pills
dying slowly from surprising side effects
generation after generation.

Let me sleep
when you darken us
with your human recklessness
and you’re going to save the world
with your idealism
and quotes from a dusty old book.
Let me sleep deep
when you’re trying to create a culture
of your own reflection
an eye for an eye a teeth for a teeth
that little moment in time
(when the wise leave no traces).

Let me sleep
when you forgot
the natural chaos of divinity
when your longing for order.
It is time to sit down
on your mouldy tense ass,
just sit down,
do nothing
and let the enlightened bums
take over
maybe you can sleep a little bit
and wake up in our pure celestial bed.

Let me have my dream of beauty
and be quiet
when I’m resting
peaceful in your iniquity.
Let me dream this paradise again
on the banks of the infinite river
when souls float through me
and embrace me in their solid unity
recognising me in the source.

Let me sleep
and never wake me again
outside the Universal Heart!
(yes, everyone is still welcome)
