Self Ignition

the devils circle hinges on the souls ability to overcome
as the watchers shout through demons using serpent tongues 

they encourage the mind to sketch out a play in hell using angels as actors 
and a ticking heart owns the fuse to the bodies core reactor 

as the fallen ignites the fuse many become martyred 
but those that turn to the way of cain becomes his own fire starter

What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it you have written from your soul. Thank you for sharing your awesome poetry with us John. Love, Carol
