"The Burns"

"The Burns"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

 No One Asked You

Thing is No One asked them either

Living on the same planet

Breathing the same Air

Yet the Arguments continue 

Without a second to spare

II

You do not represent me

Neither are you the end of it all

It feels like when we say things

We all end up in a free fall.

III

And people who pile on the flames

Rejoice when the person is up in smokes

Nothing is corrected

Nothing is solved

Just another smoldering ash

Where an opinion once stood.
