Yesterday, I wrote of times gone by
The things I did, wondering why, I try
Inside of me, there is a burning desire
Blindly and with passion, I fuel this fire

A steering wheel and a different book
And when I think, about the things I fear
I see more of why, and how, I got to here

I have seen the bloody uprising, the destruction,
flesh torn, chaotic results
of rage, ego and fear.
I have felt the consequence
