Just Another Quiet Sunday Morning In America
written by: R.M. Engelhardt

I hear
The churchbells
Ringing
It’s Sunday
Morning
Just like
Every Sunday
Here in
The city
But something
Is different
Something doesn’t
Feel right
The world is afraid
And on the streets
There are people
Walking away &
Distancing themselves
From other people
With
No more connections
No more words
Me?
Still awake
And still alive
I stand
Outside
Smoking
My cigarettes &
Watching mankind
Pass on by
In silence
But for
Once
There is
Too much
Silence
In this
World
Too much
Fear
Too much
Disease
And I hear the
Churchbells
Ringing
And soon
It shall be
In memory
Of all
The American
Dead
Who shall
Never hear
Them
Again
