There's no one saying any words, It's just the sound of their shallow voices fading. Their thoughts are yelling from afar. for another sound, they've been waiting and waiting. Silence is watching them complain, They don't see the place that it's brought them to. The only sound that they can hear, Is what's stopping them from doing what they want to do. It starts to strangle all their necks, As they struggle to not shed a single tear. Silence has chained them undersea, They start screaming underwater but no one wants to hear. So now the water starts to dry, Every last faith and hope has been washed away. Sound is the only thing they craved, So now they're dead and on the ground, their bodies lay.

A poetic apocalypse. It's what we poets do best namely hold up a cracked mirror to world.
