Let Them Rest

We are incapable of rest.

Our society is relentless

always going

always expanding

always moving.

We have ceased to be still.

From day of birth,

to day of death

Our minds filled with thoughts

of Manifest Destiny

and the curse of placidity.

But there is a day

that reaches everyone

when the earth will take our last breath,

and disperse it.

Then,

only then,

will we be still.

Once they are gone,

let them rest.

Do not dress in elaborate affairs of black

with hopes that it will bring them back

They are already gone.

Let them feel the peace

                  the tranquility  

that society never has.

Let them rest.
