I am listening
To the voices
From times past
Things done
Now all undone
I am listening
To the voices
Of inconsequence
And procrastination
A substitute for fear
I am watching
The clouds tick by
And the time
Floating
Around me
I am practicing
Gratitude
And holding space
For the seconds
Wasted to inertia
Wake up
The world is tilting
My lungs are burning
In synchronicity
With earthwide greenery
I am tilting
My head and praying
Through the pain
Of burning lungs
And collective ignorance
Wake up, sleepy heart
It’s time to overthrow
And find your voice
And wield your power:
Our world is burning.
