AnimalsA Poem by Jb
So maybe I am too young to see
The world of flames surrounding me The animals who will sacrafice Dignity and love just to secure their vice Oblivious in their vices, without a care Numb to the world, those who need them there So maybe I'm too young, too young to see But I feel the heat of the flames around me I can comprehend that it's all burning slow I can comprehend we'll have no place to go Because money's the world, the sun sets on sex Drugs and alcohol are fostering superiority complex We're slowly dying by our own free will But I'm not ready to die, I'm ready to kill To kill all the greed, to kill the selfishness To destroy what has created all of this mess For I'm too young to see, and too young to die And I refuse to lose myself from somebody's high So instead, I'll strip them, and watch them feel Throw back into that fire that's real Maybe they'll wake up before they've turned to ash Maybe the awakening won't have to be so rash Or maybe they'll keep their eyes closed, and still fail to see The fire they started, that's burning humanity
