    It was this one yeah?

    I could not sleep, awakened afraid
    Under the covers, I begged, I prayed,
    For dawn, or death, for sleep to come
    But mercy ungranted, I knew I was done.
    For I committed a most awful crime
    One for which we’ve all done time
    Exactly the same or slighty changed,
    Have we all made this same mistake?
    I went to Woolies to buy a snack,
    The cashier smiled, I smiled back
    Items scanned, transaction completed
    She said the words that have me defeated
    Smiles and waves, “Enjoy your coffee and snack!”
    “You too!” I regretfully cried back
    Unthinking, unblinking, mid-step away
    I died there, in Woolies, that very day.
