“Fire versus Flood”

The red waves washes over
the trench we’ve dug ourselves
over the last four years
filled with these flames we’ve fueled
for so long

Will the flood quench our burning beds,
level the land, sow the ash with seed
to fertilize this soil on common ground, 
build a brighter future–or simply drown us all?

Have we chosen death by flood
instead of fire? or will we rise 

like a phoenix from these ashes?
