Poem: An Unusual Fire

the fire in my heart

matches the eruption in my soul

and while my brain is ablaze 

and I go through different phases

and see the world at different stages

it's a steady heat like coals burning

in a haze of uncertainty, 

impossibility and curiosity

an uneasy velocity

and the smoke of a conspiracy theory

It's leery and you can only see the 

mist wisp but it's just hot and dreary

not scary or blurry

just a different type of energy

taking the heat and literal fire

the things we aspire

the things we should use to inspire

the things that should take us higher

to a temperature we can barely endure

yet it's so pure 

and we act like we're sure

but we're far from right

left or any insight

and this is not fight fire with fire time

but to remove the accerlerant

and become tolerant

vigilant and consistent to 

treating each other right

and using the light not the fire

to ignite love around the world
