Fire burns
And water drowns
But we all take turns
So listen to my sounds

Clutch that lucky clover
I’m just one
The battle is over
But my war has just begun

There’s no fun
Not till the war’s won
By the barrel of the gun
So hear why this song is sung

Listen close
Even good is bad
Like a thorn on the rose
This’ll drive you mad

The author's comments:
I don't exactly recall why or when I wrote this. Sometime last school year. Either way I'll let you readers decipher what this poem really means, what it is talking about. You tell me, I'll be very interested to receive feedback.

As always, enjoy.
