From the top to the bottom, The world is nothing If not a flaming cauldron Pulling us in, you, me, each and every one Down a slippery slope Into the breach Because we can and must, And when it comes How do you rise to meet the tide, Or do you waiver, falter and fall? This moment when there is just you How do you...
