We Let BurnA Poem by C Peril
It's the fire we let
burn; we let it feed on our holy scriptures, our guiding words It's the devil's tongue, red and wretched, that sings to our inner desperation and knows our anguish Quite acquainted Fire, burning It's the darkness we don't dispel, that consumes our path, to peace to prosperity... paradise It's the torch we won't light and it's the match we won't strike A pale promise Time, ruin It's the sand dunes we roam, the desolate desert, of the minds, of the men which we are And we wait on salvation which is why it doesn't come The rain belongs to those who dance, the mountains to those that climb Strive and succeed And we cherish the cloak called pity, we sleep in caves of pain
