Remodeling Time

Cities crumble slowly to the ground,

Buildings unable to withstand the

Flames licking at their bases

Until finally, they

Fall

I watch from atop a hill not far away

Crumbling, but still standing

Both the buildings and I,

Slowly falling

Down

Others gather around the flames and cheer,

Having lit the fires themselves,

Dancing, drinking,

Burning it all

Down

Together,

We could rebuild them,

Glue their pieces to each other,

Duct tape and wire them, one piece to another,

Not as they were before, but at least whole once more

Perhaps,

If we work together

To put out the flames in our hearts,

We could begin to heal our old wounds

And finally put it back the way we found it

Let's make it happen.
