Darkest Days

A world divided,
living in a digital matrix,
under a veil, day after day.
Slaves to our own
comfortable routines.
Easy, want it, need it,
click of a button.
Protecting our own hearts,
the lives we have built.
Millions of human lives,
a kaleidoscope of divergence.
An array of stories being told
through one lense of time.
Then, change.
A bane is set free.
Spreading through the world,
it eliminates, menacingly
praying on the weak,
tearing human lives apart.
But we are courageous,
we have kindness in
our souls, hope burning
through our spirits
like wildfire.
We are human, we can
get through this.
Stay strong,
believe in togetherness,
believe in community,
the world will continue
to shine, even after its
darkest days
