My city on fire…

My home reduced to ashes,

While the fire whips and crashes,

All this trauma,

from trying to influence the masses

My city on fire…

The park where I played hide and seek,

When I was young, and weak

Now seems like a graveyard for my hopes and dreams

My city on fire…

They’re all gone now

my wife, my son, and my daughter

I lost them in this needless slaughter,

All because my government couldn’t bothered

My city on fire…

I didn’t die…

My soul was murdered

By politicians who couldn’t get a long

It’s not my mistakes,

But I’m the one that has to be strong

My city on fire…

And now my world is too.

Where do I go from here?

I haven’t a clue.

I don’t know how I can live with this.

If there is a god…

He is going to have to beg for my forgiveness

My city on fire…
