Anne Ladgam Poet Sonnet

Nightmare

i try to sleep but hear my sister crying
and i can't help because i don't have hope
i hear them shooting peace again is dying
and life is rather horror than daily soap

i try to sleep but i am filled with hunger
for food and freedom future and for fun
but every night it seems that i grow younger
and every night i listen to the gun

i try to sleep but can not dream away
i feel alone i'm longing for tomorrow
but there's no morning sun the night will stay
with fear and harm and grief and sorrow


i cannot sleep despair of life is all i feel
tonight i dreamt reality was real
