Fire and fever
Once burning within
Lies doused and tempered
Fraught and spent.
The life of man
Shattered and dim
Seen but not quite.
As the wheel turns,
The course continuing,
Earth bears down
To face the brunt.
Birth yields to rebirth,
Mad to madness:
Chaos must be winning.
Where are we now
To go from here,
From this disastrous storm
That arose on the plane
Of apathy –
From unrepentance born?
For the fire and fever
The hunger for more
Of life, truth and just
Died on the plane
Of our continued disdain
For the sovereign Lord.
