It's a burning question
one I'd like to name
a searing question
is there one to blame?
Dropping down
into my mind
a plot device of one
plants seeds of desperation
hands hiding from the sun
It's a searing question
one that fans a flame
a boiling question
is there one to tame?
Passing down
a ruined crown
laid up upon the heights
forms shards of abdication
and limbs flailing in the breeze
It's a glowing question
one where there's no shame
one last scorching question
that lays one down from the game
that claims one grasping for the fame
