"All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream." -Edgar Allan Poe


If a tree falls, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If someone cries, and everyone chooses to ignore it, do they make a sound?

If kids find more comfort in the freezing dar, what happens to those that love them?

If someone falls apart, and the worlds insists on staying blind to it, do they ever find help?

When will it come to focus that our world needs change?

When all the trees mysteriously fall with no sound?

When someone cries, and not a sob is heard?

When all the children are dead because they couldn’t handle

the cruelty of our world, and their loved ones mourn

and ask why no one would help when they screamed?

When every last person falls apart,

and only one person is left with no one to hear or see

to even attempt to help anyone else,

because no one else remains?

When the cold hands of death become better;

easier than waiting for someone to help.

I would ask what our world has come to,

but I already see it.

I would ask where our world is going,

but I can already guess.

We spend every day trying to pull ourselves together,

only to watch everyone else tear us back apart.

Listen for them.

Look for the signs.

Why would you chose to ignore someone else in their time of need,

when no one ignored you during the time of yours?
