The Cicada in the Room
That ******
Cicada.
She won’t let me sleep.
She won’t let me sleep!
Won’t let me sleep –
When I’ve worked my shift,
I’ve paid my rent,
I’ve fluffed my pillow.
Won’t let me sleep –
In between harassment,
In between the bill collectors,
The brawls and the *******.
Won’t let me sleep –
When people fail,
When bombs fall
And children perish elsewhere.
She won’t let me sleep.
She won’t let me sleep!
That ******
Cicada.
She won’t let me sleep.
The world we make.
