visual men sleep in rows

visual men sleep in rows
deeply disturbed
by the coming of opium

some grass never recovers
there are fields spoiled
with all kinds of addiction

solemnly and slumped
fiery fools fall
with curtain and plunge

white horse of dark sleep
haunts the solitary weight
where white men dream

it is no solace this wind
this aptitude for sound
in a silent corner

eloquent, interesting piece :) I like the depth of what you're saying and the somber tone it's written in..
