Napalm

Napalm

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

Two endings create a new beginning

A whirlwind romance

That only lasts a few months

And a happy home is born

The time to leave the nest arrives

A leap made with arms wide open

A landing made in praying hands

History repeats itself

Minus the happy home

Desperately grasping for the examples of youth

A childhood spent with two families

When will you see your own fire

And let it engulf the world like napalm

Delete and block and lists

Are used as tools to hide

Hiding from people who should practice what they preach

Can you turn the other cheek

And use what you’ve been taught since the cradle

Everyday is a new song

Yours has a beat that makes me want to dance

But the lyrics make me want to cry
