Written during the Baltimore uprising, "A House on Fire" sums up my feelings about the events that occurred.

A House on Fire

the flames like orange curtains decorate the city

and this house i must protect is not beautiful.

no armor could protect me

forty miles away from a mansion called dc

and i can’t see much

but misery in the alleys of these brownstones

brown people terrorized

brown people murdered

brown people thugs

brown people bugs

in this ugly house

where the floors are worn from floods

and the roof is caving in from fire

and the people are on fire

the buildings are on fire

and everything is on fire.

fire!

a house on fire is no good to me.
