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
