Sleep

Fritz Hamilton

Sleep!
I do not/ I
cannot sleep!

The world is too awake.
It keeps trying to immolate itself.
60 percent of the U.S. budget goes

to the military to
kill our fellow man, which
we do all over the globe while

at home more
people go hungry &
are homeless/ sick &

mad/ man
pitted against his brother/ all
mad MAD MAD, &

we solve the problem by
building more prisons &
sending our people off to be

killed in war/ we
remove their hearts &
replace them with machines to

operate as automatons/ giving
our love & service to machines
DYING for machines, &

nobody knows why, &
IF YOU FIND OUT, YOU
jump off the bridge!

shoot out your brains!

hang from a noose!

so much for that!

bye-bye!

bye-bye ...
