While you are sleeping
     they are sharpening the guillotine
Loading their guns
Sheathing knives at their thighs

Tip toeing while you snore
To tie the noose
And expose the poison
Planting mines where your feet will step

During your dream state
They are writing the nightmares

You have no idea
          what awaits.
