Normal is to Sleep.

Hush.

Lest the world finds solace,

lest the wicked find triumph,

lest the darkness replace light.

Hush; sleep child.

There is no good reason,

there is no decent action,

there are no words of calm.

Hush; little one.

Layers upon layers of lies,

have set everyone to slumber,

watchful has become sensational,

and truth is what’s left of that.

Every ear is bent and distorted,

every mind a branded scythe,

when a generation sells its soul,

everything comes to this.

Hush now useless eater,

We have saturated the pure,

lay down and kiss your grave,

for you there is no cure.

Our legion is rising fast,

on this you have been told,

you will bow or die to the last,

for the future does prove the past.
