The only escape
is to write your name backwards,
as you disappear.
Sleep cannot compare
when engulfed in a nightmare,
mocking exhaustion.
Sleepless nights unite
tortured souls in free nations,
sensing bombs dropping.
The enemy lurks
behind a fascist facade
we call government.
Overnight votes rule,
hidden by crushing nightmares,
in yours and my names.
The only escape
is to write your name backwards,
as you disappear.
Finally, sleep comes.
Democratic socialists
take back our freedom.
