I live in a country
Where no words are spoken
Everything is silent
The birds do not sing
The winds can be touched
But not heard
It is a silence
That pervades everything
There is a sense of crisis
That things however still
Are moving like light
It is present and apparent
One cannot hide from it
The flood is beginning
To saturate without cause
We are all swimming
But are drowning slowly
Like blind fish in a cave
