shush,
quiet,
silence
now

now,
we wait.

we calm our bodies,
freeze our eyes,
stop our hearts,
and

listen.

we exist in a
bubble,
staring out
at the world
for a moment,
and it’s not
beautiful

the people of the world
are greedy and ignorant

the forest are charred
and ****** stumps

the oceans are full of
the dead and the dying

the future and the past
mean nothing

shush,
quiet,
silence,
now.

now,
we listen,
trying to find
a reason,

any reason,

to preserve it,
to maintain it,
to keep living,
amongst this
hell man has
brought to
earth
