Insomnia Part 1: In a Place Called Home
There’s a village I call “Home”;
 
 It’s a funny name, I know.
 
 There’s a world where a family of wizards
 Rule over the humans
 Sometimes with fear and might of their magic
 Sometimes with generosity and love
 
 Depending on the weather, that is.
 
 Sometimes wizards get greedy
 Sometimes wizards get jealous
 They fight, they bicker,
 
 They are only human, after all.
 Villages clash and in a scary duel,
 They find one patriarch dead,
 And the two villages find themselves with a new ruling family
 With new rules and new lives
 
 (In our case, this new one brought sheep)
 And the old family are sent away to live in exile.
 
 It sounds crazy, I know.
 What a busy world that must be
 But it’s really a peaceful place.
 Everyone’s content now
 And I don’t complain;
 This is just the place I live in.
 
 That’s all.
