The audacity of human beings
to try to control
every.
single.
aspect of life
Including the nature of the elements
even Earth,
herself
How egocentric
to believe
bodies can withstand the swallow of oceans
and to forget
without water
we are merely dehydrated flesh
gasping for a sip
What a double standard
to embody anger and rage
but also be afraid
of tornado
as if air is only meant to be still
The irony
of not wanting to be burned
when everything becomes better when kissed
by fire -
passion
love
and even Heaven
because the attraction to euphoric afterlife intensifies
when it is kissed by the fear of Hell.
