Did you sleep child through it all?

The Winter snow, the Spring rainfall?

While the world was teeming, calling your name

You just kept on dozing all the same

Aye Sir I did. I slumbered fast

And hoped the peace it brought would last

For only in the closing eyes

Was I able to drown out horrible cries

Aye I did Sir, I slumbered tight

Through lavish days and lulling nights

I felt the moon crown in my thighs

Felt the sun heat turquoise skies

And still I lay and still I slept

While children laughed and old ladies wept

I will always sleep

I will always laze

Not for me this ‘living craze’

For I was made for softer falls

For wider skies and gilded halls

I was made for whirring stars

For glimmering blackness

For noiseless cars.

And would you sleep boy,through your whole life?

Though not all just hardship, not all strife?

Aye Sir yes,I would indeed

Not for me this greedy breed

The world is made of many kinds

Those who live it, they don’t mind

But I am certainly not one of those

So please do leave me to repose

I  really can’t carry this heavy lumber

So Sir good night. I’m off to slumber.
