ONE SWIFT INTAKE

Collective breaths of the masses
One swift intake
exhale
eyes drying out of their wide open sockets
sweat stark against their pallid faces
Silent screams echoing
resounding within
Rigid spines
Hands clenched upon themselves
tight fists to ward away what connot be physically fought
Internal shout.
The masses tightly smile and nod their pale head
at the thing they will never understand
Inexplicable fear.
It drives the masses
hearts pounding with unnecessary rage,
Anger fear hate.
One swift intake
exhale.
