Daybreak

Daybreak is an artificial time
Invented by mere nature to awe fools.
Why should I care when sunlight starts to climb
Into the sky? Or why obey their rules?
I make the day the times I want to wake
And let the sun and what it bids go hang.
It does not matter that the sky may take
A different hue, or that a rooster sang;
The day is not begun if I'm asleep,
Nor will it 'til I rise - at least for me.
No more will I be counted with the sheep
Who blindly follow for eternity.
Rather I choose - and choosing is the point
That keeps my sense of time not out of joint.
