Counter the Devastating Timescales

 

E.J. McAdams

​

​

Within the future, a decade.

Within the year, a month.

​

The day, an hour.

The minute, a second.

 

Within the second,

timeless

 

silence betrays

common struggle,

 

maintains paternal

earth-greed.

 

Shed cowardice, we say.

Like trees, serve.
