Before You Sleep

Before you sleep tonight
Think of the others.
They need not think of you. 
They lie in pits, grateful now,
In their shared but silent space.
And cannot live again.
Please come back.
Please come back.
The mourning millions cry.
And hurl the whole of history in our
faces.
And make us admit to what we have done.
And make us say “We're Sorry”.

Thanks you too, I haven't actually ever thought of it like this. Will think about it when I go to sleep. But I don't want to sound too funny and that but perhaps it's not so terrible being dead. Dangerous ground admittedly. Depends perhaps on your religion and how you live that out.

All the best, stay well & Nolan
