Role Playing With Fire

Role Playing With Fire

Fact and fiction 
Role play with fire
Black is now white
Truth now a liar

Shall I be silent
Blindfold my tears
Bury my head 
Dismiss all my fears

Shall I do nothing
Sit on my fists
Ignore all the hatred
That surely exists

Shall I be deaf
Cotton my ears
Block out the drumbeat 
Of doom in the air

If I see something 
Shall I say something 
Or just walk on by
Ignore what’s occurring 

Shall I self censor 
Let truth expire 
While Fact & fiction 
Role play with fire
