Exceptional Nocturnal happenings While I was sleeping by DR DIP

WHILE I WAS SLEEPING While I was sleeping You walked the lonely streets of life For you are homeless No warm bed to lay your weary head While I was sleeping There was fighting and bloodshed Somewhere in the world Death in battle and terrorism in our streets While I was sleeping There was another dying of hunger There were natural disasters and devastation Another murder, another fatal car accident While I was sleeping Another child was born into a world of uncertainty In a world with an unknown future I have awakened to a new day To new challenges As I greet the morning sun What challenges lay ahead? I have awakened to this new day I now see this devastation I hear of another death through war and terrorism Another catastrophe Yes I have awakened but let sleep be my own peace dip Recognized Author Notes It's funny, I woke this morning after a night's sleep and lay there and wondered just what happened last night in other parts of the world while I slept. This is not my normal style of rhyming verse. I am stepping outside my comfort zone dip
