Ezekiel Olayemi

The Reset

They said the world was not ready—

for an awakening that would touch every breath,

every living soul.

 

So they commanded a reset,

and silence fell like rain upon the earth.

 

A great hush moved through mountains and seas,

through cities that once dreamed of forever.

 

And the world slept once more—

not in peace,

but in eternity.
