Safety in Numbers from Death Poems by Thomas Ligotti 📚
There are plenty more people
than there were at one time.
And plenty more are coming.It’s as if something inside them
is always screaming in an urgent
voice: more, more, more, more.Or maybe it’s like waiting in line.
Everyone feels better if they see
more are behind them than in front.“That makes sense,” you think
as you make your way forward
and soon find that you’re next.
