Feed The Fire That Burns

-Feed The Fire That Burns-
by Keaton Foster



Internally
Eternal
Feed the fire
That burns
Set ideas
Ablaze
Burn it all
Raise it
To the ground
Leave this place
To ashes
Make it all
Unidentifiable
Let those next
Know who
And what you are
By leaving them
Absolutely nothing
Force them
Like it or not
To rebuild
Make it all new
Make it their own
God will forgive
And if he won’t
No difference
Will it make
Your fate
Long since sealed
Written in stone
Dropped from height
Down upon your head
Justice
Formulated as death
Iconically ironic
Feed the fire
That burns
Add fuel to the mix
Pages of words
Utterly absurd
Ideas for the taking
Lamentations
Upon which
Pontification
Spreading like a disease
Incurable indeed
The only thing
The truest test
The deity
Of all equals
Is fire
Set it all
Ablaze
Raise it
To the ground
Leave nothing behind
Except for ashes
Except for a mess
Of what once was
Let those
The ones next
Clean up it all up
Force no ideas
Offer no logic
Let them figure it out
Make them see
Via absolutely nothing
Better than before
And forever more
They will rebuild
Logic and ideas
Will come to rule
Just not these
In time
They’ll speak
Of what they found
And what we left
They will wonder
What was it all like
Before this
Before what we’ve built
Our here and now
Glorious
Be the ideas
Imagination
The ultimate
Ideological king
They will say
That we
You and I
Must have been giants
In a world of minutes
In order to see
That what was needed
Was utter obliteration
That what was required
Was a fresh beginning
Via the end
Feed the fire
That burns
Upon certain death
All things fade
Only to be replaced
By something new
Because life
In the simplest form
Always finds a way
To survive the flames
To go beyond
What once was
And truly become
Something else…
