Witnessed A Murder

As the house was set aflame

I got the cold realization 

Descending into depravity 

Or 

Falling for manipulation 

Unable to see or judge 

I continued to retch up

If I had thought I'd seen it all

How childish I was then

The raw reality stared at my face

It didn't chill my bones 

But stole my sleep 

I can't but wish to erase 

Unexpected and unbelievable 

I now laugh at humanity

God above there

Saved me from the burnt 

My soul bled but stayed well 

It is a phenomenon

That is quite rare

Whether to be grateful 

Or to be astonished 

it depends 

But I shall not be punished.
