If only I could capture this moment forever;
                     streaks of the sunset
                     pushing itself past
                     the forest of trees.
the uncomfortable calm
of being truly alone;
                     not even i can
                     understand the
                     whispering of the leaves,
                     but only accept,
                     and embrace
                     it's soothing hush.
I light the match
that starts the fire,
a self-inflicted disease.
only a skeleton remains.
                     & yet it is so
                     easy to destroy
                     our morals
                     & dissolve
                     our values.
we hold close to the heart
and treasure that which
                     is our own created demise

if only i could capture this moment forever;
                     a truth so tormenting
                     we have words like
                     eco-friendly,
                     lost in translation
                     we scream for sanctity--
for we know not what we do.

                     our hands,
                     are hands
                     that have built
                     the monster disguised
                     as a machine.

                                          so let us embrace this moment
                                          where these words,
                                          these words were your home
                                          for a brief moment
                                          in your life.
