only distant thunder...

by Maria Francesca

It's only distant thunder
that disturbs your weary sleep;
just close your eyes and rest -
relax this vigil that you keep,

this evil, endless wondering,
this probing,
digging deep;
it feels just like disloyalty,
suspiciousness that creeps

into your mind and overtakes you,
makes you paint us as deceivers,
this mistrust that jerks and shakes you,
breaks your will as a believer.

You have to understand
we only lie to calm your mind.
You couldn't comprehend the truth,
and that is why we find it

so much simpler
so much righter
so much better to mislead you
so go ahead and swallow
these false answers that we feed you.

Just close your eyes and rest-
relax this vigil that you keep.
Ignore the bombs;
we'll call them thunder
as we lull you off to sleep.
