Poem: Asleep

Asleep

Tick Tick Tick Tick
Count from Ground Zero
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Make believe hero
Tick Tick Tick Tick
God’s will is calling
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Baghdad has fallen
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Iraq and Iran
Tick Tick Tick Tick
A masquerade plan
Tick Tick Tick Tick
John Wayne as leader
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Weak, bottom-feeder
Tick Tick Tick Tick
A war of “no cost”
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Yet thousands are lost
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Britney and Simpson
Tick Tick Tick Tick
No one is listening
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Where is the fury
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Hide the true story
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Fear guides the masses
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Righteousness passes
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Public is lazy
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Torture grows hazy
Tick Tick Tick Tick
Enough is enough
Tick Tick Tick Tick
It comes down to us

(Alarm Bell)
