Firestorm Lullaby

Just a place on the map
so it goes …
Trafalmadoran’s vocabulary ~ as a philosophy
Vonnegut talking ~ a ventriloquist’s life.

Just a place in memory now
it always happens …
burnt to a crisp ~ cinderblock soldiers
defeated in battle ~ elementary nature wins.

Just a place on paper
we always let him …
fate has a way of settling the
imbalances forced upon nature by man.

Just a place in time
and we always will …
memories stored up from a lifetime
remain as a lesson to soothe our souls.
