The red flames crawl with stealth
Bequeathing them their final breaths
They cry, scream and roar in vain
Underneath the showers of drizzling pain
The sky above and land below
Became writhed ages ago
They scatter and scurry for refuge
Which we call bravery
But the wave of vermillion engulfs us all
Between love it creates a wall
The dreams shatter
Our windows rattle
I exist, shielded from existence
To all the laws I pay adherence
I sit and sip while they scorch
And all I do is watch
