I Want to Be Fire.
tremendous flames dance their rehearsed salsa
waltz in the carbon they call home
almost a breeding ground for exploding energy
uncontrolled emotion
though, the barbaric force
commits acts far worse than homicide
instead it murders without reason
for it’s victim has done no crime
committed no atrocity
instead
cursed with quality of chance
fire is by far the most ignorant of creatures
for it does not fancy the act of thought
does not contemplate it’s un negotiable force
instead, it commits something without reason
without comprehension of any sort
it’s careless ways
negligent mindset
are almost a beacon of hope
an area of desire for us overly-complicated
far too twisted
messed up animals
for fire does not feel pity when murdering
fire is never oppressed
feel anguish
never tortured by guilt
fire is a sign of freedom
a signal of something independent
Soaring through oppression
Defeating the beliefs we all dissect
I wish to be like fire.
