My happy place in a dying empire

 

we don’t get out of this alive 

we don’t avoid the blame 


all we can do is get comfortable 

as we go up in flames 


we have to participate 

can’t stay in our caves


won’t be immortalized 

like that guy in Pompeii 


fight them in the streets

and on the barricades


but unless we suddenly evolve

those burnt seeds still remain
