Let Me Sleep. Poem by Shubham Shukla

The world is burning
with heavy flames of greed.
Let me sleep,
I am no more in need.

Let me sleep, O! rising sun
For your rays make me blind.
Let me sleep in empty heaven,
for there is no place for kind.

Let me sleep, my sweet mother!
for your child needs no proud.
Let me sleep in laps of hell,
for this sick paradise is crowd.

Let me sleep where all have slept
with their blind open eyes.
Let me sleep where no wisdom rise,
for my lonely soul cries.
