In The Silence

Does anyone know what’s happening?
You all seem surer than I feel,
But I still harbour some suspicion
That none of what I see is real.

You look a little too at ease
You seem too happy in the heat,
It’s burning all that we expose
I keep thinking we’re dead meat.

All the anguish cannot hide
It’s in the faces made of stone,
I hear it screaming in the silence
Exposing all my known unknowns.
