Don'T Awake Anyone,Shuh

Don't awake anyone
Shuh!
Nation is sleeping!
For these clueless youth
Jobs, a mirage
Buyers on the street
With empty pockets!
Citizens on drowsy conditions
A pandemic looms large
Body who cares?
Soon it is bereft of life
 it could  float
Turned carcass, over there on the river!
Yes. A promise was made!
Good days to usher!
Time and again
Lofty promise is aired!
Eyes shut, they listen all!
Again they fall into old Habit!
Deep, deep sleep
Don't awake anyone!
Shuh!
Nation is sleeping!
