The Bonfire

Night fast approaching.

Sitting in chairs looking on at the mound of wood.

An elegant bird rising destined to fall.

Then a light.

Small yet growing fast.

Then in a second the bird catches.

Burning as bright as the sun.

  • Numb

    I find it absurd that the President is doing so much bad I no longer have the capacity to feel any more.

    I have become 

    numb

    numb to the fact that this man has broken so many laws you can't even count them.
