the sky is on fire
i had a dream that
the sky is on fire
in it
i am shouting
the sky is on fire
and everyone is
walking
around
no one is looking up
can you not see
that the world is burning?
i’m screaming
trying to find someone who cares
why don’t they care that
there is fire in the sky
about to crash down?
i wonder if it’s because i am the one shouting
does my voice not clarify?
do my words fall on deaf ears?
unimportant even in the most dire of times
would people rather accept
the e n d
than listen to me?
am i that obscure?
the dream is q u i c k
like the e n d should be
it is over with me looking up at the red
& smoke
& s h o u t i n g
the sky is on fire
and no one listens
