a simple solution

I think we can do it.

Lets all shut up for just one day. Even for just five minutes. All at the same time, well sit in silence. No one cheating. Everyone in the wide world will sit and look at each other or into the air. Stop running mouths, no rolling eyes. No touching with palms or fists, fingers or lips, just empty space. Feeling the cold, the heat, the grass, the rocks, the sweat and the rain the same. And when were done with our quiet day, we can all go to sleep at the same time too. Across the planet, well all sleep together. Some at three in the morning, some at noon. Theres innocence in sleep. Adults look like children. No flesh, no villains. No one left awake. So while we sleep, let the planet take care of itself. Repair itself, as we stare behind our slumber. Well all wake up refreshed and renewed without a loud alarm. Realize the world goes on indeed.
