What’s the biggest fire you’ve ever lit? Be sure to give the track a listen and join. me in response.
For me, it’s more like a lot of small fires because of my questioning nature. I’m not comfortable with compliance or viewing leaders as parental figures who can do no wrong. With this in mind, I penned this poem filled with inflammatory statements that should spark discussion and debate. Feel free to engage me in conversation about any of the questions in this piece.
If god so loved the world,
why did he further divide it?
What caused Corona and why
do our governments hide it?
Neighbors won’t take vaccines,
but their kid’s want to swing?
Is it really freedom we hear
or a cash register ring?
Why the muffling masks
if we’ve been inoculated?
With the temperature spikes,
why’s global warming debated?
When will we regain our privacy?
Will they kill the cat to fight the fleas?
Are we afraid of evolution
or just disease?
Step into my office, Mr. President.
Why can’t a leader be fired,
after all the lies they birth
and hate they sire?
When life’s turned inside out,
is winning really learning to lose?
Figure out who’s getting blasted
‘cause I just lit the fuse.
