becoming salt.....

becoming salt.....

A Poem by offbeat orator

running without choice or direction, i cannot help but stop -
to peer back at the burning walls of my own city of sodom,
and linger in the painful demise of a place and time so happy,
that even the knowledge of self destruction could not prevent -
succumbing yet again to its temptation as my body turns to salt.
