I -
- just now -
let this flow free from my head,
through the pen in my hand
and onto the little scrap of paper in front of me...
"there is none so savage
as the one of one's own kind
who operates from
extreme fear of losing control
or
from an all consuming greed
for ultimate control...
and any
ONE
who hosts such aggression
will not be deterred from their mission
until they have been entirely engulfed
by the flames
THEY
created."
this thought provoking concept
continues to repeat itself
in historical artistic rhythms.
a contemporary example :
lyrics from
"The Arsonist"
written and performed by the artist Puscifer -
"The Arsonist"
written and performed by the artist Puscifer -
"...choking on the smoke
from the fire you started,
choking on the ash
from the bridges you burned..."
we've become immunized
by the sound of fire alarms and smoke detectors...
don't look now
but the watchtower
is nothing more than
smoldering rubble -
we've been burned
again.
