Mar 2019
We were born into a world on fire
All of us damaged
Some burn
Some smolder
Some sit silently choking on poison air
All of us in a world on fire

Some live
Some die
All of us cry
In a world on fire

Some climb mountains, for cleaner air
Some dig holes, where the flames don't dare
Some stay still, already burned
In a world on fire

Some scream for help, unheard
Some try to help themselves, failing
All of us struggling, alone
In a world on fire

Even though the world’s on fire
The world is a very dark place
