Silence

We are losing the ability to dialogue with

ourselves, ignoring loyal friends who express themselves

only when silence silences us so that we can

hear the whispers of help that planet can't get enough

of sending due to the incessant pain that consumes it thanks

to our actions that feed on ‘egos’ that many

times hide in an addicted collective unconscious

for a human selfishness in a meticulously architected

to expel nefarious thoughts and actions always justified

for an almost divine need for survival that transforms us

into half human-half machine limited to

a little bit of everything and a little bit of nothing.
