The Fire Gleams On

The sun shines upon

the fire gleams on

far away in space

like spades and one ace

Tis not the human race

responsible for the light

through the dull

there is bright

Somewhere in the hole

there must be a soul

waiting by the day

to show it the way

I say it...and not we

loving, and needing free

we have to break the chains

albeit the deranged

We have to rearrange

from atop each rolling hill

it's not a fire drill

it's not a movie thrill

It's the real imposed threat

amongst the dark grey jets

spraying chemicals afar

killing oxygen, making tar

While we look up, to the stars

oh help them see the patterns

as we sing, from our caverns

Great minds hidden and shunned

or made to run and run

away to an abyss

those in the dark have missed

The love that shows the way

and so they must pay

and they don't even know it

pocket-picked, and unheroic

in the sweltering of a stoic

and magma; heatwave

Til a few who are brave

will stand as we crave

indomitable "I must"

amongst the wind gusts

So hard they blow us over

but faith, we must hang on

continuing the song

of justice, all the way

To the end of the storm

though blankets, soft and warm

can cover the heads

of the spiritually dead

Whom are blinded from the truth

while pretending to be couth

we see through it, like x-rays

and we will always

It cannot go away

as the fire that gleams on

through the dark, through the wrong

the truth is still unfolding

the truth is still foreboding

better, better days...
