Funeral pyres wreak havoc on the street
while I just sit here and stare
television bores me out of my mind
as other people pretend to care
My friend watches the computer screen
and looks at what I write
a pity we cannot see each other face to face
a pity Im so smite.
Technology gives us so much to laugh about
and so do school and friends
twisting our minds into cruel deception
an indifference that has no end
Fading streetlights turn off and on
showing stars with light
blinking, glowing glittering hopes
shining in the blackest night
And so the street lights will turn off
and the world will slowly turn
crashing into ruin, civilization
I watch the world burn
