Sleep in Beauty


If she could only stay in her dream,

She wishes to never wake up,

Because once she closes her eyes

the world shuts out,

Being surrounded by total block out

makes her soul cheer up,

 

Her soul dances as the doors close,

She knows the time has come,

Peace is by the door,

She finds relief,

Relief in her dreams,

Her eyes are keys

to a world of peace,

 

The world is a disaster

Murders,

Chaos,

Violence is seen

She fears being part of the scene

 

Sleep in beauty is all she wishes

She dreams of equality,

She dreams there is peace,

She dreams of hands full of wealth,

She dreams of empty egos and full stomachs,

She dreams of an Eden, PEACE,

 

Sleep in Beauty is what she wants,

Never wake up,

Never open her eyes,

But she wants to stand up,

Stand up for what she believes,

Stand up for the ones who can’t speak,

Because their throats have been cut off,

Because fear took over their voice,

 

Stand up for the innocent souls,

Stand up for the ones who lost hope,

Stand up for the ones who gave up,

Stand up for their dreams,

Because that’s what she dreams,

Stand up because there is hope,

Stand up because there is a chance,

Stand up because she understands,

Sleep in Beauty is her duty
