I Want to Watch the World Burn

Every night the sun lights the sky on fire. A glowing ball of fire sinking slowly behind the horizon, lighting up the sky and everything it touches. All of the world turns bloody in the crimson glow of the setting sun. It burns so bright that people stop what they are doing to take notice. They stare, they take pictures, they tell all their family and friends to go and look at the sunset. It burns so bright so fast that it leaves everything in darkness. It is as if though universe is so stunned by the beauty that it needs time to contemplate and revel in the fire. The darkness is there to preserve the beauty that the sun created.

I want the people of the world to be like the sun. I want people to be filled with such a passion that it consumes them and everyone around them. The type of passion that sets your soul on fire and is so insistent people cannot help but wonder in the sights that they behold. People will realize what is happening and want to be a part of it. Your passion will start a fire in their soul and from there the fire continues to grow. I want people to take pictures of the fire, tell their family and friends to watch the fire, to become involved in their own movement. I want the world to be so astounded in the passion and fire that it needs to take a second to reflect on what is happening.

I want the streets to flood with people.

People wearing pink for all those who suffer from bullying, those affected by breast cancer, and for those who have been discriminated against for being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

People wearing red for heart health and heart disease awareness, especially in women, and for those suffering from ALS.

People wearing orange for those impacted by gun violence, to honor indigenous children who were sent to residential schools, to promote awareness about infertility, for all those who suffer from kidney cancer or leukemia, for those who suffer from MS, and to raise awareness for gender based violence.

People wearing yellow for anyone suffering from bone or bladder cancer, to promote mental health awareness, to promote suicide prevention, and for those affected by cystic fibrosis.

People wearing green for anyone who has mental health issues and mental health awareness, for those suffering from liver cancer or lymphomas, and to raise awareness about organ donation.

People wearing blue for all those affected by human trafficking, to raise awareness for mens health, for those impacted by stomach, prostate and colon cancer, for those affected by autism and to raise awareness, for promoting awareness about child abuse, and for those who suffer from Parkinson's.

People wearing purple for anyone suffering from cancer, to honor those who are caregivers for those in need, for anyone suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's, and those suffering from epilepsy, and to remember those who fought for women's rights.

People wearing black for all those lives that have been lost in and for the movement for black rights, and to raise awareness of racisms, which comes in all shapes and sizes.

People creating rainbows of color for all those that have been hurt, shamed, or targeted because they are a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and those who suffer from any other diseases or disorders not mentioned above.

I want to see the world engulfed in colors of those who need help, those who have been oppressed and ignored, those that need to be honored for their loss of life. Then I want to see the world go dark. To mourn the people that have been lost to hatred, discrimination, and prejudice. I want the world to be so consumed by the portrait of color that is needs darkness to preserve the beauty.

I want to watch the world set on fire and burn in all the colors imaginable for everyone who has been mistreated, bullied, discriminated against, or who has lost their lives for any unnatural, unfathomable, unacceptable reason.

I want the people of the world to be the sun.

I want to watch the world burn.
