vespers
quiet on the surface
turbulent mind
steady heart
there is purpose
record in analogue
static screen
buttoned up
silent dialogue
somebody there
to hear you
keep peace amid
permanent warfare
the data is stark
ones and zeroes
a reason to be
afraid of the dark
there has been a void
some deep scar
now is the time
to be paranoid
is everyone wrong
or everyone right
when can we decide
to no longer belong

Love the rhyme throughout this poem, and the closing question is poignant.
I too like the rhyme. It’s not instrusive and helps the poem be musical.
Subtle rhyme. Creates a beat.
