"I worship individuals for their highest possibilities as individuals, and I loathe humanity, for its failure to live up to these possibilities." -Ayn Rand


Do you believe,
that fire is a murderer?
Do you believe,
that such beauty,
could do such rage?

Scarlett, ambers, gold’s,
could they really kill?

Maybe the inferno,
that has claimed so many lives,
was set on purpose.

Set by the rage,
of one broken soul,
who’s love was destroyed.

Do you believe,
that people
are as innocent as they say?
