Michael Webster - Unburnt
Almost in defiance
I could not complain when the flames
Engulfed the inner workings of my mind
Oh too unkind
Oh so mistimed
The heat took to me like the moon took to the tide
But how will it come?
You ain’t no chosen one
I can only watch and weep as I see my people get sucked into the swamp
I came out unburnt
Like combustion cleansed my person
All the masters must have heard
About my burning emergence
They told me the spacе had been divided
By a force as cold as the night is
Makе sure you concentrate on nature
Before it falls foul to homo sapiens
Be careful you don’t overheat
Set ablaze by the concept of disunity
It’s common sense to think in present tense but sad to say I’m thinking about the future
So how will it come?
No foundation is yet set in stone
I can only watch and wonder as they’re paving over the empire of the sun
Well I came out unburnt
Like combustion cleansed my person
All the masters must have heard
About my burning emergence
