In Silence, With Fire

The slum dogs are singing again, the old familiar song

The thundering jaws of danger or perhaps the same old insecurities

Beneath the fire I stayed, the same man, eyes upon the ever-changing dance of fury

For the fire within stays untamed, its cry fueled by my ancestor's rage

Yet I stood still, in silence

A man is what he allowed to be, to show weakness is a foul policy

Thus the fire keeps me company, a  reminder of what lies ahead of me

Time wait for no one, it burns silently, forever changing, forever spinning through eternity
