Battleground Of Misery

I can't sleep again tonight, it's like my thoughts are running away into the night, now it's not easy to tell what's wrong from right in the blinking stardust of a pale blue light, maybe it's the darkness that fill the night that has put all men and women in a fright, drunken or sober in the morning as roses first came red, and lilies became white, in a country of wasted honour and streets of lost delight, before the sinking of the moon, which is the night of night, as I leap out of the night like snakes of lightning twisting and white, I fight like the lion of thunder, because for to long I've been angry with God for not making things right, as we live under weak Dukes and false Knights, with fairy tales writes and snake bites, this is what I call an appetite, why the dog bark and the fleas bite, now men wear jeans tight like the season right, but this stinks to holy heights, where the human race can barely move, this is a case of denied human Rights, yet, folks march for civil rights to live in the image of a half life, as the system say, 'we have the right to remain silent', on the freeways of life that are jammed with all kinds of folks on their bikes, begging to drink from the same water fountain as whites, as their system judge me, all my fears are haunting me, like my mind has went wired while you're sound asleep in an ancient river, so wide and deep, as I'm drifting in and out of dreamless sleep, while my memories runs like water in a ditch so deep, the violence, the veils of dusk are deep, as the earth takes her children's many sorrows calmly while the winds along the darkened desert sweep, and thirsty grief fill the wine we steep, as our health and draughts go free, we know no such liberty, only injury throughout history as we are fighting on this battleground of misery...
