Alive In a Poisoned World

I wake, I eat
I bathe, I shop
I cook, I survive.

Minutes, seconds
Tick by
And I survive.
 
I communicate with friends
Never knowing if I will ever 
See them again.

Or if they will fade
Into obscurity
Like the thousands before them.

This is what it's like
To be alive in a poisoned world.

And the seconds tick by.
