Stubbornly uncompromising
In love with stonewalling
Addicted to whining
Allergic to cheering
Everyday consuming
a stinking thinking -
a black and white, single story
of a gray history, and current misery.
So we said ENOUGH to stinking madness.
And lo, we no more see only darkness.
Instead, we see light flickering -
flames of red fire burning.
We see, too, coming -
progressive thinking.
WE are the future
We live in the now
We question the past
But we do not live there
Like red fire
we illuminate
Like blue water
we calm the heat
We are red fire -
We burn only fear.
We are blue water -
We tame wildfire.
We are red fire -
We heal wound, fever.
WE are the future.
Inspiring! Powerful images. We can be both fire and water – loved that.
Thank you, Bindu!
those who burn others with fire will burn in hell; those who always see with the light will blossom.
Thanks Shimelis for your comment!
Though I dont believe in hell and revenge, the poem’s idea is similar to what you are saying that we should use fire, i.e., inner fire, to light darkness. Lets burn the fear to do the right thing, not fellow humans or other beings.
