I can never sleep anymore

Until everything is quiet and dark

Even the light under the crack in the door

I can't ignore anymore

I can never laugh anymore

Until everyone is corrected and fair

I will say the jabs at the weak and the poor

I can't ignore anymore

I can never write anymore

Until my mind is still and rested

But now the ink and the blood on the floor

I can't ignore anymore

All I'm asking for

Is a little bit of peace
