If you were cognizant of the outcome
before the onset of the fray,
how long would sanity endure
witnessing children melt in
voracious flame?
🔥🗡️🐎🏺🏛️🔥
The vibrations of the
untamed mouth
more dangerous than any
soldiers wrath
🔥🗡️🐎🏺🏛️🔥
In prescient firelight
the future awaits
despite all those
who curse the fates
🔥🗡️🐎🏺🏛️🔥
How many accusations
could you falsely bear,
if you selflessly warned
those detaining you there?
🔥🗡️🐎🏺🏛️🔥
The greatest crime
one could commit
is to observe reality
and insist it exists
🔥🗡️🐎🏺🏛️🔥
The act of acknowledging
a smoldering equine
is tantamount to
setting it alight
🔥🗡️🐎🏺🏛️🔥
With the creak of a hinge
a slash flashes in the night
Screams echo through time
igniting a blaze too steaming
in intensity
Cracking stone and searing sight
allowing truth to stream
— too late
