like lambs to the slaughter

like lambs to the slaughter

A Poem by Ama May Cooper

Something calls me from slumber 
Something drags me kicking and screaming back to this world
I close my eyes in desperation 
to escape , to be free from here

Desperately I almost beg the darkness not to leave
I've found comfort in my loneliness
shielded by the long arms of a defensive personality
This is not my world

What i would give for my mind to rest
To take in less of this hateful existence
Blind me to the evident hypocrisy
Let me sleep away this reality

I hear their minds dieing 
Calling out to me at all hours 
Desperate to be salvaged 
Dissolving slowly as there conditioned into oblivion

There is no silence in this onslaught
No break to my resolve
One night I ask to sleep soundly
To be deaf to the terrified screams

This world is alien to me 
A whole society of chem trails
Speaking lies fed by twisted tongues
Chaining their own wrists to the wall

I am isolated by understanding 
Weeping mercilessly into a pillow with no ears
They force themselves beyond redemption 
They cast away there own innate abilities

Time is none existent 
Any vague concept sliding into that hungry void space
There is none left for human kind
The alarms are begging with you to wake up

How can i sleep?
How can i gather a moments rest when the end is upon us?
This world is crumbling before my eyes
Each scattered dimension line bleeding into other lines

I close my eyes as the darkness engulfs me
A refresh a clean wipe
so many spirits lost to the void
80% still lost in their slumber

I scream for my sanity 
I bury my face further away from this land
I cannot begin to watch
this is the slaughter of the lambs.
