The Fire

Within my soul rages on a fire

Not one of love, but of fierce desire

A fire of righteous indignation

That sparks this loner's isolation

This fire burns in search for change

To bring unity to those both average and strange

I fear this fire may soon consume me whole

For each bully, each suicide, each crime adds a coal

I fear the fire will never cease, though I pray I'm wrong

For all my fire wants, is humans to get along

nice..what i get is far good but nothing is natural hope they are right

[Abilash Uttama]

your poems are always thought provoking, what if everyone feels like this? world will be a great place to live in then. Nice work !

[Death's Poet]

Good! That is one thing I always hope for in my poems. Many of them are blatantly about change if not having some desire for it in the undertones. Thank you so very much

[Satan]

I can appreciate this one :) Keep burning bright.

Thank you so much! And I adore your username. Dark Lord Satan has been a nickname of mine growing up

You're very welcome. Haha is that so? There can be many Satan's, he does have the power to possess after all ;) Peace out Shadow.

I really liked your take on this poem. Fire is usually the one that consumes us, or burns us. But your fire is a good fire. A passionate one. A fire that wants what's best. Well done shadow poet!

I've always loved the imagery of fire (I'm a bit of a pyro) so I thought "Hmmm why not use it in a good way!" Thanks so much MoonSkittles
