You ate corruption for dinner
and washed it down with a red wine.
You drink deeply
because it sets your mind free.
After the third hour of just watching
silver lightning in the sky
you decide you need a change,
and with no explanation why
you set the earth on fire
and try to put it out
with red wine.
You set the earth on fire,
(oh, now the situation's dire),
because it just proceeds to burn.
It melts away in layers
of greed, perversion, and lust
oops, I mean
'the mantle, core, and crust'.
Now you've set the world ablaze
and all that's left is the red wine.
You take one look back at it burning
and decide that that's just fine. |
Submission Name: Set the Earth on Fire
Gah, this came real close to being a favorite.
