SIlence
Silence
Sam Adams
Was tired.
Of all the noise
Of all the nonsense
Around him.
The 24/7 babbling words
Of the talking heads
Talking past each other
Screaming at one another
On all the TV channels.
of the non-stop bickering
on all the social media feeds.
He just wanted a moment
Of silence
Turned off the TV
His laptop and phone.
Drank some wine
Enjoying the silence
As he drifted off to sleep.
Hoping he would wake up
in paradise.
