Resounding Silence

I put my ears to the winds, 
my eyes to the screens
Unsurprisingly, nothing to be heard
And nothing to be seen.

But a resounding silence; 
A dried up stream
Empty, shallow, bereft -
The growing split of humanity's seam. 

Their kith and their kin
forever hear their silent screams.
Erased from life, extinguished
their stolen dreams.
