Sandman

Sandman

Eyes Shut
when I
Sleep
At night
Daring
The sandman
To  fight

Never Neverland
is the
Battlefield

Insecurities 
Are the
Weapons
Of his
Choice

Perseverance 
Determination 
Prove 
To be 
The counter defense
needed 
to last 
Another night

Morning rises
Birds 
Chirpping

Awakened
In
A
Puddle
Of
Sweat

This soldier
Carries
A
Cross
for 
The day

No forgiveness
For
The wicked
And 
It's 
twin
Called
Righteousness 

the sandman
Lies
Dormant
Between
The
Consciousness 
​​​And 
the subconscious 

As  the
Sun sets
The weeping 
Willow
Cries
Silently
As the predator 
Crawls
Out
Of
Remission

So very tragic Greg... full respects to you. I cant imagine what you have gone through and are going through. Armed conflict changes people. And that's a hell of an understatement.
