Hush, listen she said
The sound of our hearts beating in our heads
The sound of their hearts beating in our wombs
The sound of humanity beating in our chest
Don't let it rest
It's all we have left
To help us not forget
We are all made of blood, pumping
When we hear the thumping
It's rhythmic, steady drumming
We're listening to the heartbeat of the world
Their hearts beat just like ours
Their blood carries the same air
Why do we think their pain is so different from our own?
The Earth is our second womb
The one we share with everyone
It's living, breathing, feeding us
And when we die
Our bodies nurture the soil
That nurtures the air
That feeds the veins
Of the next generation
All of humanity lives inside us
Why do we think we are separate?
Hush, listen she said
The sound of our hearts beating in our heads
The sound of humanity beating in our chest
The sound of
Humanity
Beating
In our chest
