Authored: June 8, 2024 Barren shores witness another sunrisePale skies bear down with pressureThe muted colours belie a mourning veilThe world is sick.The Sun floats up into the skyBasking upon azure ocean wispsClogged with millions of floating fishThe world is dying.Great cities of Man, beat onAs birds hit the grounds of cities, death permeatesThe men…

Authored: May 1, 2024 “…. This world was only temporary….”This place was never broken. It was us. You and me. We. The collective.
