The House Is on Fire
The house is on fire
What will you do?
Your further actions
Will reveal you
Are you the Firefighter
Who seeks to quell the blaze
On the surface it is quite noble
With the truth in the smoky haze
You wish to preserve the house
You care not for the story
That tells a tale- of earthly hell
That's ghastly, grim, grotesque, gory
You prefer the fantasy
As opposed to the reality
And the hagiographic lore
Told by the house's residence to conceal the sore
That's been festering since long before
And yielded fruits of toxicity
The house is on fire
What will you do
Your further actions
Will reveal you
Are you the Bystander
You did not cause the sore
But you know
You could have done more
You made no correction
You gave no antidote
And now you perpetuate the direction
With your excuses for anecdotes
The house is on fire
What will you do
Your further actions
Will reveal you
I am the Arsonist
I drew a line in the sand
I decided that the insanity
Will no longer stand
The poison that had me infected
I converted into medicine
And after 27 years
Of living in fear
I can say that I am here
I am not an enigma- I bear no stigma
I am worthy of the honor a good student would give to its seer
I am worthy of the honor Kurt Carr would give to a Sigma
Because I am the Buddhist
Because I am the pragmatist
Because I am the liberalist
I am the arsonist
