Drowning

Ten thousand words

A sea of noise

Puke

Clogging eyes & ears

Polluting senses

A crushing weight

Pouring forth

Salesmen singing

Empty promises

A politics

Ignoring people

Empty talking heads

Fighting over power…

Hitting mute

Flatscreen flashes

Pictures lacking art

Unworthy of electrons

Pressing Power,

Ends it all…

In the perfect silence

He sees her smile

Smiling back

Shattering illusions

Ending space & time

They pause

Touching quietly

As lifetimes flow

And hearts remember

Sometimes

Making love is stillness

Filling a cosmos

With more than sweat.
