Oh, what a tranquil sea it is,
this seclusion.
But wait until we tell them
it’s an illusion.
Students across the nation lie
in their beds.
Their anxieties keep them glued
in place.
They are paralyzed,
frozen,
in desperate need
of something
to ease
the whirlwind of their minds.
The zombies sit dull
and braindead.
In their mind, a lull
turns their limbs to lead.
