Feeling distant from it all
I resign to being unresolved
Disappointed anyhow
I’m all burned out
Embers, ashes
Falling down on
Circumstances
I can’t count on
There’s no one who can stop it
Oh so futile are my concerns
So much to learn
I can’t stand to watch it burn
Fighting’s useless
With blistered bruises
Singed and shattered
Try to salvage
Something good in this ending
Though impossible to discern
So much to learn
I can’t stand to watch it burn
It once was summer there
It once was beautiful
Where homegrown gardens were
Business as usual
Now all that’s left of it
Is the hope I can document it all
Someday, someday
Keep burning, burning on
You still have time
