Burn

-

Flicker flicker hiss
     Flicker hiss
          Flicker pop

The fire of inhumanity is begging not to stop.
As it's flames keep climbing higher into murderous abyss.

Fire fire flicker
     Fire flicker
          Fire hiss

Death is like a rolling wave of an orange lick of flame.
As it curls around like fingers in a lust for the unslain.

Flicker sizzle pop
     Flicker pop
          Flicker hiss
The future of humanity burns something just like this.

Children of mistakes that our parents made back then.
The flame that they all lit is coming round again.
Sizzle flicker pop-- Stoke the fire of our sins.

Be the one who takes a stand amidst the flames and cries
For the lives of all the millions who'll never say goodbye

Be the one who runs into the burning world by choice
With no other goal than providing the afflicted with a voice

Don't let the world grab hold of you and cast you under spell
We know the one who burns for Christ will never burn in Hell

Flicker flicker hiss
     Flicker hiss
          Flicker pop.
Fire fire flicker
     Fire flicker

          People drop

https://www.theodysseyonline.com/tired-college-student I didn’t know I missed you. I didn’t know I cared. I didn’t know I loved you, Until you weren’t there. I didn’t know your value, Until you ran away. I didn’t know I loved you, Until you wouldn’t stay. I didn’t know I hurt you, Until I saw you cry. I didn’t know I broke you, Until I watched you die.

Weep: It's a Love Story

-
Two trees hunker side by side, Their branches entangling. Complicated love. She is small, with a leafy skirt. Folds of fabric curl up on the ground. Her skirt is a shelter if you can get through the layers of green ribbons. There is a whole new world underneath. She takes risks and the others take advantages. It isn't the smartest way to hurt. A hand fondles her hair and her clothes, But she brushes it off as her body shivers.  Wet.  Cold.  Rain. She is beautiful, but she weeps. The other tree has a strong body and long, muscular arms But he is gentle.  The smallest find their homes in his trunks and on his branches. He is strong.  His arms enveloped her. Cover me in your scent Let me breathe in your beauty He is tall, but yet not tall enough, to shield her from the rain. Sometimes he must be cut to grow bigger and stronger again. Women learn from heartbreaks but men from breaking hearts.  This time he says: I will stay, I will grow.   Grow tall enough to c

Dogs, Days, and Homework

A dog after a nap is like my mind when I learn. Bouncing off the walls of my conscience. Yelping, ears perked, The world seems bigger when you open your eyes Wide enough to hold it. The world is the weight upon the shoulders of the sky. It's that hunchback of cloud, so grey That it meets the endless ocean As if the water evaporates into Misty abyss. My mind evaporates into The fog When I learn too much in one day. I go from four padding paws, Trying to touch every bit of knowledge I can, To a few worn-out feet. My ears droop, full to the brim of information. My nose tips down as I realize A deadline Is just another word For disappointment. Only the bait, Encouraging me to reach out and touch it before  The day gets a chance to say, "That's all I have time for, Do not try to add hours on Or you could be up until tomorrow Just trying," I am the dog who wakes up, Sees the world from the window, Collec
