Fell Asleep

Many fell asleep. 
They slept while many were killed in factories of death. 
This allowed for others to take over all of the land.
The system was working, and many worked to death, leaving no time to love and rest. 
They fell asleep, under the plan to kill and replace all they can. 
They wanted to rule all of the land. 
They had a plan to kill and cause pain.
This would allow for them to achieve their plan. 
Others are afraid to speak or take a stand.
