Looking Down...

The cold remains within my heart
     icy eyes, dark as coal ,
breathe fire i don't control
     Don't get burnt, don't stand too close
today i would not need much excuse
     to send a fool toppling
There is no stopping, no relent
     to the stupidity of Man
 and yes, i realize i am as well
     but truly, people what the hell
could not our egos sit a spell
     and think of someone else?

Where have you been.
     what have you seen?
Is it all too much.
     do you wish it a bad dream?
Do you accept, then ignore
     pass the homeless by the grocery store
as you shake your head?
     What if we shared,
what if we truly cared
     about the why, the how,  not where
and see we are all to blame
     to our ever lasting shame
that may not last for long...

Love's fire burns,
     darkening my soul;
clouds as black as coal
     blotting out the sky
Build the pyre higher,
     your turn is next into the fire,
please keep in line
    No one heeds warnings,
at the precipice comes the dawning
     Stop or die...
