When eyes are battling
against the circadian clock
of the sunlight,
limbs are frozen
on the bed
and characters of dreams
are making their way
into the real world
through the creak of sleeplessness.
It is time for the red flag.
It is a national emergency.
Someone must do it.
Someone must take
the responsibility
to guide the youth
that sleeping late at nights
or being friends with ghosts
is nothing to be proud of.
Playing with mirrors or illusions,
grounded to human skin,
unaware of the rules
of the other world
only sets the trap
with self as bait.
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
