What is a man but a spark?

What is Humanity but a lit

and brightly burning Sparkler¹

ever consuming itself towards

a certain, most indeterminate, end?

(Written August 27^th, 2021)

1 Sparkler �" A sparkler is a type of hand-held firework that burns slowly while emitting colored flames, sparks, and other effects.

In the United Kingdom, a sparkler is often used by children at bonfire and fireworks displays on Guy Fawkes Night, the fifth of November,[1] and in the United States on Independence Day.[2] They are called phuljhadi in Hindi and are popular during the Diwali festival.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparkler
