Who By Fire Ramblings
Who by fire
watches the earth burn?
Who believes that matter
is neither created nor destroyed?
Who burns their bridges behind them
after walking across its form?
Who swims the water's edge
treading through its unknown depths?
Who drowns his spirit
in alcohol, drug, and opiods?
Who lives only for today
when tomorrow is on the horizon?
Who still believes in God
after everyone claims to fall away?
If time and life teach us lessons
then why do we never learn?
Who by fire
denies what lay within their grasp?
Who thinks out loud
and wonder who is listening?
