Moth Or Flame Part Four

As i crossed new mexico
On the bus to ...whatever just gonna let it go
Learned why i had nightmares over and over again
Year after year about bus rides 
Driving the essence of all i fear 
The death of hope of what i thought was clear
My finest hour of defeat
To that ...il drink a beer


If ive learned one thing 
Its that war....war will never change
So the question... 
am i a moth? 
Or did i become the flame?
Or am i a flaming moth enchanted through the struggle 
With much more to gain? 
Dont know but my humor is what keeps me sane
That and the essence of another i see 
 reflections opposite
In ways the same

Maybe its another delusion
God knows i remember all the previous others 
By Name
Rymnes keep repeating 
So il just say good day
