#inventors
I was never born to be great; I never believed it was my fate. Not like the Beatles, Who wrote the songs That live with us all life long. I wasn't here to invent A vaccine to prevent laments, Or destroy dementia, Or unveil the answer That cancels cancer. I'm not up on investments That provide the cash to crash hunger, Or house the homeless and usurp anger. No I'm not a man of wonder. Yet, if you ask someone who knows me, A child of mine, for one, They'll correct my every regret, And remind this man, Lest we forget.

Not a Man of Wonder
*My throat blows out fire. You can't stop this sun burning in my lungs. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. A dragon lurking through the shadows. Enter the unknown and i will funnel magma into your cold lifeless body. OH NO! my little fireflies! they want to capture you in a bottle! But the blood of the dragon in you melts the glass that held you. We have become the mythical creatures they thought only existed in their imagination. And now the power we've withheld for so long has got them running. Running into the silent caves, waiting to be saved. They fear what they not know. I will not apologize for spreading my wildfire and you shouldn't either.*
