Outside My Window | Wayne Russell

Right outside my window,
I peer into the morbid eyes
of this doomed world.
A world that is so filled with,
hatred and greed.
A world that is obsessed
with looking good on the
outside, while our inner
realm decomposes.
I was oblivious to this horrible
world, last night while I slept,
innocent like a baby lost in the
sweetness of dreams.
I was oblivious, while wars waged
and innocent people fell victim to
worldwide atrocities.
I slept the deep slumber of a drunkard
in a halfway house, while outside the
snow fell and, for once, I knew peace.
