Sleep Long

One day I saw a man asleep In a doorway on the street Subconcious death was his coercion Buy and consume and want and need Never fall from the trap of greed I thought about the bitter pain of jail cells In falling rain I thought ahead and looked away What can you do anyway and sheltered youth and our pretention Avert our eyes to divert attention Only to see the human Victims always there to remind us Sleep long sleep well Only to awake in hell
