Your destruction
sucks the marrow from me,
burning down the world
in hours,
as you cower
behind the fire
of your self inflicted
sickness.
Domestic the species,
feel it rise up inside
and take you
back down.
And your drowning now,
falling now,
and theres nothing,
not a thing
Ill do
to save you.
Because you bring it
on yourself,
you welcome it,
you revel in it,
and its all
that youve got left.
Humanity,
at its best.
