🗣️”I stay offline a lot now,
my stories look a lot like 70’s milk cartons,
And my timelines sound like they have become crime scenes,
I never thought I’d be able to hear victims cry for help and be able to mute the sound of death …
I tried cleaning house,
Sounds of bullets covered in dust came from under the rug,
bodies picked up with the speed of the ceiling fan …”
