Deep Asleep

deep in the woods I slept
birds chirp
gentle rain
misty fog
cool breeze
quiet n merry
sleep of the angels
sleep of the babies
nothin more nothin less

woke up not to the dream
was it the woods ?
birds gone
gentle acid rain
harsh breeze
misty smog
quiet n merry no more
well woods were gone too

with no reason to be awake
bird’s chirp n rain n mist n breeze
was all I took to my dream
sleep was all i had now
sleep was all i had now

On Second thoughts how long do I sleep? Till all the forests, ice caps, rivers vanish and the skies turn black and we humans with their pets stranded in the deluge to follow.

Every phone call you make/receive from a tower powered by diesel, drive one of those gas guzzler, carry home stuff in plastics, enjoy your air-conditioned place and print those paper you and me are deep asleep and nowhere close to being alive.
