Today
by Jillianne Spencer

God has abandoned his creations,
And yet they still live.
Ravenously.
Hungrily.
Feasting on the dreams
Of those who dare to,
Breathing in the smoke
Of the bodies there before,
Fueled by the fossils.
They chase after an objective
That no one knows the object of.
Gnawing away at the
Post apocalyptic propaganda.
Laughing at the
Common good.
Tearing each other
Limb from limb,
Always forgetting their
common enemy.
Touch my hair.
Take my hand.
Feel the pulse in my wrist.
Can you understand me?
Am I speaking words that help,
Or hinder?
Can I believe in something
If I cannot strike the match?
To burn down a planet
Is to save it.
Can you kiss me one last time?
Can we go outside?
Where do you think we go when we die?
