Where the fault lies
That fire did start with a match didn't it?
A single flame that led to charred forest
Or was it a single word that had turning severed that forest?
Was it the match start the fire that killed that person?
Or did the rumors and lies suffocate the person before the fire did
Was it that drop that flooded that dam?
Or was all the bitterness that added continuously until the dam truly broke?
Was it the volcano that exploded that caused the molten mess
Or was it the liquid hot anger that caused the eruption?
It had to be the tsunami that tossed around the weightless bodies
Could it have been manipulation by the powerful that swayed the people?
It takes a few drops of water to irrigate a desert
It takes millions of people to build a somewhat mediocre society
Greatness always declines faster than it was built
And ruins always seem to haunt us for our miserable entirety of life
So why do we selfish beings not enjoy the good parts of life we are given
Can it not end with that single flame?
