It’s not what I intended

​

We thought we were building a better world.

​

We take, transform, and stack to make the world brighter, faster, and more like the way we want it to be.

​

Until one day, when we knelt down, we realized that we were still holding a life in our hands that needed to be protected.

​

Only this time, we don’t know whether we are protecting it or prolonging its plight.

​

The rain is still falling.

​

The city is silent.

​

And some apologies come too late.

​

Only that thing we call "the future" has never answered.
