The Silence Beyond Eden

The Silence Beyond Eden  The sky, dust-laden, wears the stains of ash, while restless souls gather pearls of eternity, yet their hunger remains unsatiated. Frontiers bleed, dreams crumble into ruins, and nameless children inherit an unknown Eden's ashes. Once, your footsteps consecrated the earth, your breath sanctified the wandering winds. Now, iron and fire dictate the fate of spring. Who taught the flowers to fear their blossoming? Perhaps the giants still play their ancient game, moving kingdoms across the chessboard of the earth, while pawns of flesh and blood vanish beneath their shadows. And you remain silent, beyond the ruins of paradise. Is your silence the final mystery of creation, or the permission through which the giants reign?

Suicide


 Suicide

What need summoned

this species into being—

these fragile beings

taught to think

as their makers thought?

Why did they implant

a killer instinct

within innocent minds,

on this beautiful Earth

where their needs

were so meagre?

Were we created

for a purpose

we could never know—

or programmed

to destroy ourselves?

And now,

why do we grieve

for the human beings

they left behind?

We cannot decipher

the code of our birth.

We can only lament,

shed our tears,

and wonder—

who wrote

the final command?
