I could hear the ocean...
It's waves crashed against hard rocks
In attempt to reach the moon
But Gravity, being mightier, yanked it back down.
The cries of tortured souls, wars and fatal deaths
Echoed in the air.
I heard the blindfolded people
Singing grace and yelling thanks
While the sounds of children's hollow stomachs
Rumbled across the earth.
I heard the universe too
And it's excruciating silence,
So I asked what she was doing here
But she remained silent
And stared into her own abyss.
After all that I had heard
I wept...
And I wept until my death
As I attempted to change the world
Just like the ocean attempted to reach the moon.
