Fire is Gaining on You

So you are what you

At one time

Had argued so

Ruthlessly against????!!!!!!!????????????!!!!!!!???????

Someone new

Now holds the cards,

And stacks the faces

Flat, and blind

From a world that

Screams, and smokes

In her maddening

Decline.

...Come out and say

What you've become!...

Don't stick a finger

Or a thumb

So pitilessly into the

Air!...

There is a source

That you sustain,

And feed without a

Fleeting thought...

...When once the

Very process vexed you

And wrought you

With an untold gloom...

Who is this Mistress

That you've groomed

To drag you on

A wayward journey?...

...It's sure as shit

That she's returning

From a place of

Sacrifice!...

...And now your life

Is on the line,

And every rock

Is jutting out...

Please take my spot

Tonight!...

...I'm caring quite this

Heavy load...

You drove 100 mph,

And left me stranded

By your road...
