POETIC inJUSTICE: "I Don't Want to Burn"

I don't want to burn.
I don't want to die.
How fair is it to roam through life questioning "why?"
Who cares what science says!
Show me why the sky is blue.
Show me what it takes to fly.
Show me, because I cannot feel without my eyes.
Blessed be thy name?
What makes yours better than mine?
I have my criteria and that doesn't qualify you as being divine.
Without you I don't lack being a moral individual.
Hell, without you I don't lack very much.
"Praise you, oh lord..." and such...and such.
I have many questions, yet where are my answers?
"Seek him and ye shall find!"
As I walk among others, the blind is leading the blind.
I am an animal.
I am fueled by all my senses can afford.
Sex and lust and anger galore.
Rage and passion and so very much more.
For a fact, I will lay my head to rest one evening only to not wake in the morn.
As for those who love me,
some will find solace while others will forever be torn.
I, on the other hand, shall wander aimlessly searching for more.
Searching for what?
Life?
What about life?
Purpose?
Dignity?
Praise and recognition?
That shit's for the birds.
But, if you are the only way, the only answer,
the only antidote,
please be my friend, because I don't want to burn.
