Twenty Twenty Three
The largest ocean can't extinguish the fire,
Sickened and weak the illness grows dire.
The minds devise the secrets they hold,
A way out of the misery worth more than gold.
Distract the hungry to quietly fade,
Unnoticed they escape the mess they've made.
Open your eyes to twenty twenty three,
The minds won't save the ones who don't see.
