The City Is Burning

By Shriddhi Singhal

The city is burning and my lover is screaming

Everyones in a rush

And I'm sitting here

Dreaming

Of a rainbow world.

With no misunderstood dragons to be seen

A world where unicorns fly

And nobody bats an eye

The city is burning

And My lover is screaming

Everyone's inna rush

And I'm sitting here

Writing

What's worth sharing

Let it all burn down to ashesh

I don't want a lover

Who isn't out

I am writing a rainbow world

Where people can live in peace and disagreements

Not in vain cruelty and hate

Freedom of speech

Will be

Freedom of speech

And not a shovel used to throw hate over someone

A world where unicorns fly

And no one bats an eye

Where I lay with him and her

And them

And nobody cares

Or says a word.

The city is burning

And so is my lover

And I'm sitting here

Playing with matches.
