You Glow, Boy

You move me
I dance in parades
and sit among the strange
I bask in the sun
I laugh like honey
Awe inspired

How you rip the branch from the trees
and kill little things that breathe
but still
allowed to smile
conquer
You prosper
What else is there to do
but take it all in?
I soar on your wind

God has yet to strike down the strong men
And so I am the student
You the unknowing tutor
I sit, pen in hand
Ready for lessons
I thought only the devil could teach
