do you believe that I have missed you
even though I know it doesn’t show
I yearn for your presence in my life
but actions speak louder than words
there’s no point if it isn’t meaningful
if it doesn’t spark joy
if we’re not caring for and loving others
what is the value of all that we know
earth, the planet of overpopulation - but
why are we so quick to become lonely
the price of accepting these distances
growing angry and numb in our isolation
if we slowed down this machine
dragged our feet, stopped the clocks
if we just stood still and closed our eyes
how fast would we be victorious
you read yourself to sleep
and you let yourself fall gently
and if you noticed your own violence
you could then bring yourself to sing
