Salem

My body burns eternal now
And my hands are knotted snakes
Bound to a pike like a sow
As I cover the earth in powdery flakes.

All of them are afraid of some impossible fear;
So they burn what they don't understand
Or condemn those who do not adhere
To their ideal situation at hand.

They all jeer and shout
As my tears evaporate into the sky.
In this moment of smoldering clarity, I rest my doubt.
Humanity is a lie.
