Suicide

The light of the fire shon from his eyes,
the flames licked the laughing coal.
He pulled out a box of England’s Glory
And the sun poured out of his side
The white flag in his hand symbolised hope
His burning desire for peace
He crouched in the shadow of kerosene
As the sun poured out of his side.
The eyes were closed as if in prayer
The hair was creaming loud
He stared at the smiling centigrade
And the sun poured out of his side.
The god that came from a cardboard box,
The an idol on an altar of fire,
Was the emblem of his utopia
And the sun poured out of his side
The flag was soaked in kerosene
All his dreams had perished to.
He wanted to burn to live again
....but it rained, so he drowned instead!
