Cauldron

Somewhere inside

There’s a cauldron 

Stewing, simmering, splatting. 

Hotter than hell on a cloudless day

But small 

And tucked away. 

Deep inside

There’s a cauldron 

Fuelled by ignorance and lies

Feeding on news and noiseless nonsense 

Yet hungry 

Bottomless pit

Beyond the heart 

There’s a cauldron 

Spawning soulless minions

Who burn a path seeking to surface

Held back

Their energy grows

Stuffed down

There’s a cauldron 

Growing hotter by the minute

And the minions, they are exploding 

Breaking down

Walls that hold them 

Can’t you see?

There’s a cauldron 

Refusing platitudes and disguise

Minions burst forth, shout out a war cry

Standing up 

Proclaiming the cauldron 

Yes! 

There is a cauldron 

Yes!

There is a cauldron 

Deep, deep within. 

The fire so hot,

The fuel piled high. 

It cannot contain what’s inside. 

The minions come warning

The fire is roaring

The cauldron’s bubbling boiling. 

Stand back

Watch out

As the cauldron sputtering, splattering 

SPLITS

The content burns though the veins

The vat never to be fixed.
