"To thine own self be true."


burn a dead boy's memorial
just to remind them who killed him
protect his murderer at all costs
because he's part of a grander scheme
it's like cross-burning in the 60's
white hoods, police badges...same thing
but the same flames swallowing our sons
are igniting our rage
and wildfires have no destination
they just blaze
