Purge

The flames burn down the forest
I watch it happen all around me
The forest is mostly lamp posts
The flames consume our houses
I watch it happen from the road
The old road is far too narrow
We must widen it
We must rebuild it
We must supervise it
We must survive it
We have become complacent
Ancient forests died out long ago
A cleansing purge of the waste
land is now all-too necessary
Purge out the venom
Purge out the pride
Purge out this so-called society
Most of all you must purge me
from the scorched scene as well
For I am responsible for the
contamination of the planet
I am human
Entitled imperial elitist
I will destroy
Manifest purgatory
