Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. <br /> Thomas Jefferson

My soul,
is bursting into flames.
I can not sustain the heat,
I can not quench it’s thurst,
I can not put it out.
it is burning.

My heart,
is crumbling into pieces.
I can not contain the pieces,
I can not keep them from falling,
I can not put it together.
It is blowing away.
