The Candle Burned Long

the candle played                                                                                                          
at both ends                                                                                                               
pretender's be wary                                                                                                        
the longer you let it burn                                                                                                
to me is very scary                                                                                                        
all liers in the lake of fire                                                                                                 
if you light both ends of the stick                                                                                    
by in by all that is left a burned out wick                                                                            
like pinnochio's nose not to funny LOL                                                                            
when we are talking about your soul

A whimsical poem that ends with a very serious warning. Well done
