Poetry

April 5

The sky is no longer silent-
It cracks, it burns, it counts.
A flame licking the edges of tomorrow.
A breath left in the lungs of the Earth.

Can you hear the pulse beneath your feet?
That trembling is not thunder,
It is time…
Running out of places to hide.

O world,
You dressed your wars in flags,
You crowned your greed as progress,
You taught the oceans to choke
And the skies to bleed.

Now the horizon glows
Not with hope,
But with warning.
Get ready-
It is not as a call,
It’s a consequence.

For every silence you kept,
For every truth you buried,
For every cry you ignored-
The countdown remembers.

And when it reaches zero,
There will be no drum,
No final speech,
No second chance echoing in the void-

Only a quiet,
Terrifying stillness…

Where even time
Refuses
To begin again.
