Six Alarm

A Poem by Pete
"

If I put my head deliberately into the fire, there is no appeal to fire or to the maker of fire, and I have only myself to blame.

Branded with the mark of the beast.
I'm Beelzebub's's minion.
Another log on the bonfire of human conceit.
A conflagration of Satan's sleight of hand and deceit.

My house burned down.
The only one at the end of a dead end street.
It's hard to see through smoke and mirrors.
You never know who you'll meet.
At least creation doesn't cheat ...
