Fracture Point

The dark didn’t kick the door in

It waited till we looked away

Crept in through the open spaces

While we all just let it stay

No alarms, no sudden warning

Just a slow and quiet spread

Everyone kept breathing normal

As the better parts went dead

This is the fracture point

Where the world went dark

Where the silence turned to permission

And the complicit left their mark

wrong learned it had a pathway

When the resistance turned to gray

When the ones who should have spoken

Chose the comfort of the shade

Now it walks without a challenge

Takes its place in open light

And the ones who still remember

Get told they’re the ones not right

This is the fracture point

Where the world went dark

Where the silence turned to permission

And the complicit left their mark

It never needed our approval

Just our willingness to wait

A million quiet decisions

That decided what we’d take

This is the fracture point

Where the world went dark

Where the silence turned to permission

And the complicit left their mark

We became the fracture point

When we let the dark take hold
