Hezekiah’s Wisdom

11.25.21

“The world… the world is at peace.”
Hezekiah mumbled this to himself
as he puttered through his kitchen,
moving dishes to sink and from sink to
shelf. It was 5AM in his house and it
was quiet outside.

Despite the calm around him for miles and
miles and despite the words
sprouting from the fertilizer of his wisdom,
at that moment thousands were being blanketed
in science’s fiercest flame and the most
devastating war to find this planet’s face
was beginning.

The world was at peace, old man.
It was.
