Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Darkness sweeps across the sky;
The little mouths yawn with might
Children attempt to fight as much as they try;
They keep losing to their mother, the night

They fall into deep slumber;
The children fall into a weakened state
Even if they tried to cumber;
They would quiver with every gait

Shall they dream of heavenly treats;
The children shall bless the poor
Shall they dream of catastrophic beats;
The children shall bring destruction the more
