How does it feel <br />when your head hits the pillow? <br />What thoughts you think <br />when your eyes close? <br />Can you sleep with all those images? <br /> <br />Emaciated babies screaming to be fed. <br />Sick babies suck at shrunken breasts <br />A child with puzzled eyes roam the street. <br />People slumped against pavement walls, <br />like images from a UNICEF magazine. <br />Women raped by armed men. <br />People unbalanced by rewards of trade in science. <br /> <br />You can pretend to sleep, <br />but can you get sleep, <br />when these images fill your heads, <br />or have you made a compromise?<br /><br />Saju Abraham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-can-we-sleep/
