The Elements

Fire is the murderer of humanity Or is it not the passion that burns within us? Water is the asphyxiation to a passion unknown But is it not also a part of our entire body, that keeps us in health? Earth is the place where dead rest, unrightfully underfoot Or is it not the being that we rely on for just being there? Air is the sin that carries pollution to our lungs But is it not also a relief that brings composure to this life? Spirit is the form that can make or break you And yet it is the one that looks after us all that provides us with passion that keeps us in health that we can rely on that brings us composure It is the teacher, and its showing us how to feel It is the student, and we're showing it how to cheat It is a parent, and it teaches us how to share It is a child, and we are teaching it how to avoid Are we committing acts of kindness? Are these sins the strong ropes that bind us? just ask your self
