The Fire Within



There is no reclamation
Until all is lost,
No reincarnation
Until the end of life

To be born is to be alive
To be alive is to wait for death
To wait for death is to die
To die is to be born again

The world must see someday
Life is same as death
And must be suffered
If only it is worth the trouble

But neither is death, then
Worth a chance
If it is to be born again
To sit here and wonder

“To be, or not to be:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles”

Feed the hungry man, I say
Covered in dirt and shit
Lift his soul off its sorrow
Burn him then. Burn him tomorrow

Wish them luck, the lovers
Romanticizing their future
Wish them grandeur and might.
Burn them, then. Light up the night.

Torch the ground, I say
Flay the sky
Burn everything
Then burn the ashes.

Burn the world
Until all is smoke
You can’t burn smoke
Then burn yourself.

And be born again.
And burn again.
