[bodytext] => Don’t you hate it…
When you can’t sleep? Even though your eyes are falling Slowly crawling together… But your mind, Ah yes, that wonderful tool, Won’t shut up? I mean, seriously Your eyes are drooping You know you want to just close them and whisk away to nighttime bliss But your mind makes them stay glued And open, mind you To the screen Be it tv, or computer monitor It won’t let you break away You are held Tighter than a super glue bond. And that’s why I write this now. My mind, the self-absorbed being it is, Won’t let my fingers rest. “Type! Type now! Type you incoherent slaves! And you, eyes, Dear eyes Stay on that screen, I command thee!” It’s a dictator, I tell you. Think about it… your mind commands your body Your body listens. There is no rebellion Or is there? Maybe that’s why you get sick? A rebellion against the evil dictator of the mind? If it is it’s a pretty crappy way of resisting. But if that’s all they can do, All the power to them! Just… don’t rebel when I have something important to do... Okay? Thanks.
