Glow sticks
June 10, 2021
They had to break us
To make us
Beacons of light
Formed through the rough unrelenting hands
Bending to their will
Short-lived lives of men
They waved us in surrender
By the flickering remains
They collected us in boxes, threw us to fire
Not knowing we would bathe them in our flames
