Just Another Night

The night is unbearable humid The breeze is dreadfully thick Stars glisten delicately, with temptation Against the somber, deep, cerulean skies Lights glimmer all across the humungous bustling city As the mindstricken sinner attempts to lie For no one, shows nonentities a single glimse of mercy With a fragile corpse shaking, And a horribly hungered mind He keeps continuously and vaguely repeating, "Don't shake, Cry, Or fight; Don't let the hunger conquer your mind. Don't twist, Turn, Or long; Don't approach the captivating high. Don't let the rush tempt you, For it's just another night." Neverceasing dreadful shaking Break of dawn is seeming milleniums away His trapped restless soul, begins to unfold As he hears the devilish voices say, "Long the rush, then cease the rush, Mustn't sit around and play! When sanity's vanishing, these soul-games are trying, So just let loose and have it your way!" The voices argue, bicker, and burn, But in the end, evil never fades "Don't shake, Cry, Or fight; Don't let the hunger conquer your mind. Don't twist, Turn, Or long; Don't approach the captivating high. Don't let the rush tempt you, For it's just another night." He succumbed to temptation; a poor demonstration And the clashing conflict, remains today "Don't shake, Cry, Or fight; Don't let the hunger conquer your mind. Don't twist, Turn, Or long, Don't approach the captivating high. Don't let the rush tempt you, For it's just another night."
