Insomniac

Burning like wild fire

 I can't sleep

I keep on thinking

 Finding it hard to breathe

 My eyes are open,

I'm fully awake...

 I want to scream for help 

But everything seems vague

 I think I'm going through a plague 

Where I'm trapped in my own dreams

I can't come out of it

 Even tho it seems fake 

I wake up to pray 

But nothing seems to be working

I feel betrayed by my own body

 Or is it something else that's lurking

 I realize I'm sweating heavily 

In these dreams where a monster keep chasing me

 Leave me alone... I shout in my head

But it doesn't seem to be working

 What have I done wrong?

 I ask myself utterly sunken

 There is still hope, i try to convince myself

There are pains but more gains 

The benefits are more worthy, at least

 When will they finally leave me alone

 I want to be at peace

 They diagnosed me with insomnia as my most common disease

  I watch everyone around me 

 Forgive me but I watch in envy

When will I be able to sleep naturally

I've done pills, milk, and yoga

But nothing seems possible

        Truly is there a rainbow at the end of the tunnel?

       When will all these nightmares just be mere dreams? And all these cold nights I can't sleep just be memories? trying to survive 

   Throughout all my life

Breathing, thinking

    

     

 I've finally realized, an insomniac I'm meant to be

Mother Russia and the West(Contemporary summary)

 Though the Soviet Union may have collapsed and weakened Mother Russia badly due to a large instance the plotting of the west, other factors were also responsible for this collapse as well. Nevertheless plotting of the same west especially the US is making Russia strong again. Firstly, they edged on Georgia with some Israeli and western supplied armory to take on Russian speaking territories of South Ossetia and Abkhasia, this was the beginning in recent years by Russia realizing the need that they have to be strong again else the West led by the US with the exception of Germany may be would steal their land and resources. Then again the US and EU through coup and sponsored some rascals in Ukraine to topple the then Russia friendly leader of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovich, which led to the Crimea war all because they want to absorb Ukraine into the EU and place NATO arms on Russia’s borders.Definitely Russia would have to respond and this time Putin was all the wiser, he attacked rather than defend by deploying Russian troops to the border so there can be quick response should a need be. As they say offense is the best form of attack. So the west have inadvertently made Russia stronger since the collapse of the Soviet Union rather than weaker.
