The Coffin That Hung From the Ceiling

The cold night vibrates between raindrops
The wind breathes the fire til the pain stops
A shadow flickers on the humid walls
Lightning strikes scare the cats and dogs.
The ego walks home soaked in question marks
“Where’s my justice?” he screams, as the thunder sparks
A wild idea in his monstrous heart
“We shall fight til death tears us apart!”
And so he geared up and went to war
Trapped by the greed of thoughts, he stored
And hoarded them til he could hold no more
Til he collapsed, white flag in his bag
And the flowers grew around him
While he grew cold because he couldn't stimulate the thought within
