Silent Running, a Poem

Silence is required,

distance to keep.

Far away and silent.

The climate is toxic,

difficult breathing.

Pathways interrupted,

rewired to suit them.

Peel it back,

painful as it is.

Healing comes... 

eventually.

Express, tell

the painful stories.

Look them in the eye,

it's your life.

they only want you to hide,

for their benefit.
