observing the shadows of man 
pass him by -

he has angel eyes

that shine high beam
bright bushfires that light

Countless times proven as the underlying cause
Of immense human suffering throughout history,
In endless ways justified to levy extensive misery.

Oozing days forfeit;
Scent of the times!


Why do...
