Fireball

Fireball 11/5/2014

No candle lasts forever

And neither do we

At least not as we are

In the here

And now. 

But we arise

And we speak for a reason

So we can either eat it up

Or watch it rot.

Drink down, the cup fully

And let the juices

Run down your neck

Because this is a time to live boldly

And never look back. 

Streak like a fireball across the sky

Flaming, as it burns up

Furiously shedding sparks  

High above our heads. 

There is a time for everything

Like gunning the engine

In a fast car

On a deserted road.

Surging forward

And burying the needle sideways

As the leaves

Scatter behind.    

The parties end 

And then the masks come off

And so it is, with us

Right here, and now. 

The true face comes out

Contorted with rage

As evil burns out of control

Consuming everything it can. 

Unmasked, we all are

And now, is the time to decide

What it is, that matters

And what it is,

That is right.
