Mundane

Folder: 
innocence

Funeral pyres wreak havoc on the street

while I just sit here and stare

television bores me out of my mind

as other people pretend to care

My friend watches the computer screen

and looks at what I write

a pity we cannot see each other face to face

a pity Im so smite.

Technology gives us so much to laugh about

and so do school and friends

twisting our minds into cruel deception

an indifference that has no end

Fading streetlights turn off and on

showing stars with light

blinking, glowing glittering hopes

shining in the blackest night

And so the street lights will turn off

and the world will slowly turn

crashing into ruin, civilization

I watch the world burn
