Infected Earth

This world seems broken and bleak
A sadist’s dystopian fantasy gone awry
Newsfeeds brimming with pain
How do I put my empathy on mute?

Tomorrow seems uncertain
Today is already out of hand
Trapped in a time funk
I am reliving my yesterdays

My melancholic walk
Takes me through a grim old cemetery
Where each tombstone tells tales
Their endings laid down six feet under.

Surrounded by dead flowers & dry leaves
I imagine the stories & smiles they all must have lived
I realise it's not over for me yet
Otherwise, I’d be at peace like them.

Seems like every time this world is about to break
It is mended by people who are damaged too
Maybe fixing you is my only chance
Of fixing myself.
