And as I watched the flames consume it all...

Poetry?

So as I watch the flames,
Consume our world-

Their majestic hues,
Reds, yellows- pure blue.

Surrounded us, closing in,
Separated, trapped within-

I saw humanity, life in these flames,
Innocence, honesty, truth- it put us to shame.

Our lying society, a refuge for posers,
Addicted, living for the next fix- the final closers-

Couldn't hold a candle to this magnificent fire,
So, I watched as the flames marched inward, I didn't fight, didn't tire.

At least the flames knew who they were, and what they weren't,
How many of us can say the same?



Woo, yeah, I can rhyme :D. Meh, just wrote that on the spot. It needs revision to be anywere near decent, but I kinda like it. What do you think? Oh, and yeah, I'm alive. Bigger journal entry later? Perhaps.
