Rome is burning

London is burning

DC is burning

 

we are all burning

melting

flooding

eroding

 

still

we are apathetic

squander energy

elect officials

whose lies

ineptness

repeated denials

repeated denials

         repeated denials

and constant deflections

         deflections

         deflections

compound and corrode

our

only

home

 

it is burning

no one is dousing the fire

no one

is conquering

         the fire

 

home is burning

home is burning

         home is burning

         home is burning

 

         home is burning
