Lullaby 2

Sleep because you can, in silence,
Leave behind all thoughts of violence
Let sweet peace pour down upon you,
Be the confidence which longs you.

Sleep until the sun says not to,
Dream whatever stuff you want to,
See some magical excitement,
Feel restrictless free delightment.

(Sleep now sleep now motherfuckers,
Dream of sheep and pheasant pluckers,
Sea shell sellers by the shore,
Grumpy oysters, more is more.)

Sleep invisibly to others,
Find the dark which comfort smothers,
Disappear in silent oceans
Of reverberant emotions.

Sleep forever with the fishes,
Maybe you will get your wishes,
Be a resolute foundation,
See the light with pure elation.

Sleep because the four foot beckoned,
Do what forty years have reckoned
You should have done at the start.
Sleep now, sleep. Do the depart.
