A Truer Thing Has Never Been Said

"A truer thing has never been said.
I, for one, sleep all day. When I can.
Anyone who consistently wakes up
To baffling alarm clocks in order
To begin an empty day crammed
With nonsense wonderments
Is a jackass of the highest class
Whom I have no respect for
And furthermore they should be
Publicly humiliated for this wasteful act
And forced to sleep in front of paying
Audiences who love to sleep
Who cherish sleep would like to get more sleep
Would do anything if only sleep would come
Who would sleep through a wedding
Would sleep through a funeral an airplane takeoff
If only they had the time and wherewithal.
Where would we be without sleep but awake
All the time and tell me buster
Tell me
What would the world be like then?"

    that was awesome.
    i love sleep so much.
    Between the conception and the creation

    Between the emotion and the response

    Falls the shadow.

    great poem....you speak the truth to me grooveamatic...cause half the time,
    I ignore mine.They're evil,little boxes that make noise.
    why be normal?
    A whisper and a thrill
    A whisper and a chill

    it would be good.lots of things would get done.
    we could work all day and have fun all night.
    maybe make twice as much of a difference?
    maybe make twice as much love.to share with everyone.

    I'm sure you're right...I don't always mean everything I say in a poem...sometimes I mean quite the opposite. :)
