Backsliding into Hell
inches to miles
look how far we’ve fallen
never perfect but better than this
they’re rewriting what they aren’t erasing
stacking the deck in their favor
throw another log on the firesome say he’s crazy
and they’re probably right
but crazy can still be evil as well
and nobody’s stopping his actions
what does that make them?
throw another log on the firewhat’s with the herd mentality?
they flatten us with their stampede
destroying everything in their way
it’s like a single mind collective
driven by next level inhumanity
throw another log on the firethey say you can smoke out vermin
and flames can light one’s way
seems like a bonfire covers it all
and warmth is welcome in these cold days
so gather around…I’m striking a match…
throw another log on the fire6 Comments-

”Your words feel like a cold wind. In my world, it rains when I’m sad, and I can feel the ‘inhumanity’ you’re talking about. If your world is burning, maybe my storm can help put out the flames. We’re both just trying to find some warmth in the dark.”
