Modern graveyard

We have built a civilisation 
of sky-high buildings,
of concrete cities,
of disconnected communities. 
Cracks creeping up 
the foundation of our homes,
black mold making its way
through every floor,
termites in the walls,
fractures in every bone. 
So, we stand,
divided
in this graveyard of hope.
