World in Flames


See the anger,

the hate, the pain,

the bodies laying

where they were slain.

See the blood,

the guts, the gore,

riots and battles

from shore to shore.

Set the fire,

burn it clean.

Make this tragedy

be unseen.

Sear the world,

build the flame.

Clear the rage,

the sorrow, the shame.

Show the light,

make it true,

end the world,

and make a new.
