Reality Blur.

REALITY BLUR.
sneak

Soaked in mediocrity.
Drag me through the day.
Feeble signs of happiness -
slowly ebb away.
Unable to relinquish -
the serenity of sleep.
Paradise in mourning -
as waking shadows creep.
Facing days in turmoil.
Sleep stalks with mocking grin.
A dedicated servant -
to a cause I cannot win.
Unshaven and dishevelled.
I yawn therefore I am.
A modern day example -
of a prehistoric man.
Fighting through the traffic.
A battalion of steel.
Constant aggravation -
behind a steering wheel.
Mobile-phones and pagers -
relay the dreaded day.
Battle lines are snorted -
in return for meagre pay.
The hunter and the gatherer,
returning with the cash.
Sleep is where the heart is.
Unconscious mercy dash.
The futility of fighting.
Eye-lids of solid lead.
Surrendering to pillows -
and warm inviting beds.
