Today
Today was a day that could stop the sun
Dead in its tracks, putting the damn thing out
Like licking your fingers and
Pinching a match
Today was a day that would kill a crowd
Some mob of gawkers gathered around
Drowned by their laughter
By its own ignorant sound
Today should have been the end of all days
Some loveless lonely sky, open up through the haze
A plane crash miles wide, taking everything
In its wake.
Dead in its tracks, putting the damn thing out
Like licking your fingers and
Pinching a match
Today was a day that would kill a crowd
Some mob of gawkers gathered around
Drowned by their laughter
By its own ignorant sound
Today should have been the end of all days
Some loveless lonely sky, open up through the haze
A plane crash miles wide, taking everything
In its wake.

Like licking your fingers and
Pinching a match
Every stanza speaks volumes. Great flow, finish, & delivery! Well done & welcome to DU! :)
