Slow Down

Slow Down

A Poem by DarlingDarjeeling
"

17/11/17

"

She digs her hands into the ground

Plunging as deep as they can go

Breaking nails

Snapping bones

Watering the Earth with her own blood

Trying to pull it to a stop.

The Earth does not stop

It cannot feel her.

She continues to cry

And begs for the world to slow down, for just a moment

So that she may catch up.
