A different lullaby!!

Upheavals
small and big
rock me to sleep.

I close my eyes
to destruction
and death-
every time, the tsunami
sweeps away
homes, families, dignity.

Every time someone robs us
of hard earned money,
or long preserved rights-
I pull up the sheet
higher above my head,
and block the light.

Every now and then
when I loose control
and give in to the devil
in my head-
I pop some pills
and lull my senses to deep sleep.

I have learnt to snore
at every disturbing thought,
still neither leaves-
the thoughts,
nor disturbance!
