Free Cee Only If and When That Time Arrives

ONLY WHEN AND IF THAT TIME ARRIVES Wake me up when it’s over and done Whereupon the madness takes its final bow Shake me awake when again shines the sun But I beg you please, don’t wake me up right now Please let me sleep until I no longer have to weep Allow my slumber to number the days until it finally ends Don’t remove my quilt or the hope upon which my life is built Only wake me when no one need be plagued by guilt Please don’t ask me to arise to see the beautiful skies Because to me they are laden with clouds and rain Open my eyes when demons discontinue donning their disguise And when madness is no longer all the Lord has to ordain So let me sleep deeply until what is to be done is thus to be done Awake me when no more madmen see killing as their duty Shake me awake when no one need carry nor possess any gun And the ugliness of this world is turned into begotten beauty © 2012…..PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
