Let It Burn

burnings wings of fire stretched across a desolate sky flames from my belly ignite the world on high rain falls down giant tears of flame cried from a beast too old to have a name the world burns by a light which no man has ever seen even the angels up in heaven can hear the peoples' scream the night is gone replaced by burning day the flames are too bright to ever fade away all hope is gone everyone can tell our entire world replaced by this burning hell

I don't believe this world will end in anything but consumption by the sun. Perhaps there will still be humans here who will live through this "science fiction" ... LOL ... great writing here, Adam and a well-deserved selection to be a feature of the week here at the Soup. Congratulations!
