Burn Sebatsion

A Poem by Jake Staffeld
"

A song I've changed.

"

Burn Sebastion

Throw your life away

Break the bastion

You'll die today

 

Die for all of us

Live for no one

Please don't fuss

That you won't see the sun

 

This celebration

They call it a dance

Envelopes the nation

We watch you die in a trance

 

Burn Sebastion

Throw your life away

Take the station

You have no say

 

We're ungrateful

But we love the pain

As you lose your soul

In a blood rain

 

Burn Sebastion

Throw your life away

No one has traction

In the dead's bay

I love the rhyme and flow of this piece, how everything just seems to meld together to make an awesome poem. Great job!

Really great rhythm to this. I'd love to hear it set to music and find out how you hear it compared to how I envision it sounding. "Burn Sebastion" just sounds so dramatic--the name Sebastion was a perfect choice in my opinion.

What a musical tone this piece envokes. I like what you made this piece.

Wonderful wording!
