untitled

restless nights take two in the head.
the mind needs to trick the body
but thoughts need to trick the mind.
battles erupt throughout the kingdom
civil war grips cities in a vice
lines are drawn
crossed then redrawn.
death's cousin sweeps the landscape
knocks down the windows of all who dare stare.
children play in the street
rejoice
reclaim the air and fill it with laughter
the old man sings his lullaby’s
his voice travel the peaks and valleys
it crosses the globe until
the destination meets the start.
