Sleeping Peacefully

The world sleeps while I write what they should think,
They never dream about what they should know.

The world sleeps while I feign calm acceptance,
A fine few see the futility that I see.

***

The world breathes ever so peacefully outside,
Never a stop nor stutter in false hope.

The world breathes with unnerving assurance,
And I question what it is I know and fear.

***

The world lies perfectly still despite its traumas,
Despair and death embraced alongside joy.

The world lies perfectly still despite its tears,
Hurting few as they fall with hail’s ferocity.

***

The world lives happily within its self-made storm,
Because the world knows exactly how it will end.
