Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice
Desire and vice.
Half of Robert Frost was right -
the world will end in ice.
Extremes kissed,
in heroic tryst.
Beneath a billion candles' light.
Fire and Ice
Apathy
and avarice
The language of passion's tongue
now come undone
(Fire and Ice,
the language died).

When will us gods learn
that greed consumes and always burns
leaving only ash and stone
to freeze alone.

Fire and Ice,
but wouldn't it be nice,
if we could end this world


in light?
