Hush!

lull a by

Hush, little child,
In your dreams hide,
While we divide,
Plunder and ride,
Into the dark side.

Hush, little child,
Hold on to what’s worth,
Our minds: numb with dirt,
Crass online mirth,
Cat memes. T-shirts.

Hush, little child,
Lest I your spirit spite;
But you’ll hear of souls pried,
To feed (strong)men’s weak pride,
While the loved ones cried.

Hush, little child,
Survive. Thrive!
This world, revive,
With these words five:
Love will keep us alive.
