You Do Not Know

Silent is my heart

But I feel it beating

Pulsing within my chest.

I feel the breezeĀ 

Dancing through trees

Though it has no form to play

I see water cry

Hear it roar

As it rages on

An unstoppable current

Stars linger in loneliness

Blinking for no one

Shining for all

And the moon hides

Its ugly scars

From those who admire its beauty.

A child laughs and screams

Unaware of the troubles ahead

That their parents will leave behind.

How the earth weeps

As it looks up to the sky

Not knowing the girts it gives

Insects live life hated and feared

Only living each day like its the last

Trapped in a cycle to be repeated.

Buildings fall

And glass shatters

Leaving explosions in the night

Drifting dust in the morning

Unseen and unheard by those who know.

You do not know

Just as the earth is unaware

And the stars isolated

You do not know.

As a child plays its innocence

And the moon hides its scars

You do not know.

When nature finds perfection in its flaws

And governments make peace with destruction

You do not know.

When your body fights against itself

Attacking all that you are

All that you should be

You do not know.

To know is to accept

To accept is to realize

And to realize is to make it seen

So We do not know.
