Elusive sleep is creeping by,
slipping of into the night,
weighted eyelids standing firm,
bloodshot outlook as dawn returns.  

The dreaded birdsong falls upon my ears,
not a bit of sleep before i face my fears,
a day ahead of being weak and unable,
I'd meet friends for lunch but i'd die at the table,

The spaced out limbo is hard to fight,
In your own world while your stood at the lights,
Traffic sound horns and pedestrians moan,
don't walk round half asleep and try using your phone,

The sudden screech predicts the fatal halt,
your eyes seen it happen but your reactions are shot,
lying there broken and bruised a heap on the floor,
the killer looks white out of the driver side door,

A hesitant step and shudder of breath,
the driver cant bear to look down on this mess,
legs bent backwards and folded under his car,
and the pearly white teeth glinting down on the tar,

A sound of a siren and the muttering crowd,
our man lies there broken under a car on the ground,
his blood stains the concrete as he stares without fright,
but laughing inside because he'll ******* sleep tonight,

Transcend dimensional cognitive thought,
regret and regress from what is commonly taught,
exploration of mind and anatomical seed,
and evolution of soul to surpass the 'need'.

Destruction partners corruption with relative stealth,
shadow manipulation puppeteers power and wealth,
behold manipulated lives un-imagined by the lost,
stalling a futile discovery of an inevitable cost.

You take the words from my mouth,
Physically removed,
Disapproved.

You take the thoughts from my mind,
totally revised,
Cencorised

You control what i say,
What they see,
Explicitly.

No more control of content,
Freedom of speech,
Breached.

If?
If you look back on your life what do you see,
Does it meet up to what you wanted it to be,
If you look back now what would you change,
What would you redo, not do or re-arrange.

If your childhood you was stood before you here,
Would he recognize his dreams or be nowhere near,
If you could make things different what would you do,
Would you discover new purpose or points of view.

If you altered yourself who would you be,
What about places you go and things that you see,
If you changed your path to better your need,
Would you sacrifice self for money and greed.

If the world changed forever for better and good,
Would you remember how you got to where you now stood,
If everything reverted back  to childhood dreams,
You could make everything just the way it should seem.
A poem questioning my/your.our position in life and how it tallies against where you thought you would be.
