Extinguished Fire

Fire, a purifier held from desire by being given an unholy vessel
An ode to the sun once born
Sworn to a life of illumination
The creator doomed to its own cremation
The sun overlooks,
Tears in the golden rays from its holy body as it sees
The animosity in your society
To succumb to the cruelty hidden in your vanity
To partake in the insanity hidden in this reality
To create art out of agony,
Supporter of life on a planet doomed in its own greed
Emitting energy as it continues to bleed
They say there is nothing faster than the speed of light
Yet the pride built up in your insides says otherwise
Descendants of a people unloved
Holding onto a thread of hope to grant peace in a world unknown
Bestowed an unruly fate, dreading the dawn
Does the darkness provide comfort, instead a bled shadow that allows your mask be gone?
