Particles of Dust

Particles of Dust



                                    Dust floats through the rays
                                                        of sunlight in my window pain

                                    Unsettling it just flies around
                                                        never landing on the ground

                                   Metaphorically the message is clear
                                                        only suppressed in constant fear

                                    If ingested you'll probably sneeze
                                                        or contract some horrific disease

                                   Seemingly unharmful best beware
                                                        community airborne toxicity shared

                                   Examples of a terrorist plot
                                                        chemical warfare graveside lots

                                   Thinking too much on terrible things
                                                         like dust that floats on death wings

                                   Life is all walls in built up defense
                                                        Made to fear through violence

                                   So dusty as the air might be
                                                         It's always going to be in the air we breathe

                                   Instead of thinking about it's effect
                                                        or the negativity in which to reflect

                                  Try making it through just one day
                                                        then watch the dust clouds pass away...
