Fire and Ice
One is below zero
One is excruciatingly hot
One caused the Ice Age
One factors in with Global Warming
Both can damage and destroy

Some want fire to engulf their lives
Those people wish to be a burning success!
They wish to be at the top of the world!
To go out in smoke!

Remembered as that person
That person with a fiery passion
To succeed
These people think
At least they think they think
That if devoured by flames and smoke
Then their life is complete.

Some hope the world is slowly frozen,
To a halt probably
Those people wish to go unrecognized
Doin’ the bare minimal to get by
Well yeah, they want to be at the top too,
Of a snowy mountain top that is

They hope they can just decay on the earth floor

They don’t want to be under it
Because then,
That would mean someone cared enough
To dig a hole

These people don’t want that
They wish not to be a bother
To soon, be frozen by the earth’s years

However, I think if everyone could die twice,
They wouldn’t choose the same death twice
They’d want to experience both

So don’t wait to find which will occur,
go act like you can die twice
