Setting the Day On Fire

I want to burn the dawn, Set the creeping mist ablaze, Scorch the languid clouds. Let the evil-headed crows, Bear witness Too the fire, Melting this sanity. I'm in to deep!! The laughing form Of a cartoon moon. The clichéd bird song With their dutiful chorus. I'm in to deep to let go!!!! Eager proletarians With sad eyes. Their hearts A roaring inferno, Stare vacantly At a flashing red light. They can't see me; I'm in to deep, Just a light shadow Pouring petrol Upon the stubborn dew.
