BURNING THE WORLD DOWN

New world burning
Horizon line on fire
Lit up
Glowing orange, silhouetted
Shadows dancing back and forth
Across the ground

Smoke draws up and in
Blanketing everything
Look up
The moon above is nothing
Barely a milky white cataract

Swallowed up whole
Ingested alive
One scream drowned out
By the thousands of others

A grey void with no reference point
Save the tree line in the distance
Back lit and bathed in the orange glow of the cleansing fire

Soon you will have purpose
Soon you will be fuel

A bright point on the horizon for another
