Burn Baby Burn

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. - Thoreau

What Is Fire Made Of? Chemical Composition

situation dire
arousing more than an ire
much to admire
it came down to the wire
rising above muck and mire

we all played it
even kindling it
as we sang to aspire
jimi fanned the flames with his guitar work
jim opened the doors, daring baby to light it
def leppard spreading pyromania
i crooned but was called a liar
harry showed 'em all
whenever he dared to "jump into the fire"

Author's Note

Pete
“Write while the heat is in you. The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience.” - Thoreau
