Projection of friendliness

You want to see
what this is able to
then gather around the fire
with so much grief
nobody is able to sell themselves
and so smile at each other
even though the world around you
crumbles
and the city went under
volcanic fumes
melted stones
to ash
like a boil full of pus
the mountain bursts open.
I wonder
what the underlying point is;
It’s so nobody
hears the screaming.
