In FlamesA Poem by Dennis ShanabergTear down the door And let yourself in For you will never get This chance again. Burn down the house Till we’ve just ashes. And let the smoke rise" Signs to the masses. Everyone can see the change Is comin’. Everyone can see that we need it Now. Everyone can feel the change Is needed. So, if you feel it, too, show us How To shut it down To cast them out To lift us up Toward even ground. To play the game And change the rules No longer paid To be their tools. So, fight fire with fire, And let it all come crumbling down. Maybe, we can build it back from the ashes, While everything else crashes Down around them, down around us. When there’s nothing left, we’ll all be the same. And then you can finally trust That the ways of old will be claimed in flames. © 2014 Dennis Shanaberg |
