FIRE

FIRE

Oh! The Fire of ire
Burns instantly all to pyre.
The Fire of mire
Makes all an ignoble liar.

Oh! The Fire of  lust
Turns all to rutting rust.
The Fire of the Unjust
Pounds Right to dust.

Oh! The Fire of avarice
Pulls all to vice.
The Fire of spite
Does all writhingly bite.

Oh! The Fire of riot and broil
Courts devastation, turmoil,
Engenders peace and harmony
Imperils universal symphony.

Oh! The Fire of savage violence
Stifles all reasonable Sense,
Oozes blood and sheds tear
Spreads acrimony, rancour and fear.

Oh! The Fire of green-eyed jealousy
Injects in intolerance Missy,
Kicks its obnoxious Owner down
To wear, at last, a hideous crown.

Oh! The Fire of greed
Spoils sex, relation and creed,
Tempts to scandalous deed
And induces to irrationality breed.

Oh! The Fire of gusty passion
Incites unscrupulous sensation
To land all at a sensual station
For remorse, tears and ruination.

But, Ah! The Fire of pure Love
To be noble and pious does serve,
Rids all of a loathsome hell
Granting all a much awaited Bail.

Ah! The Fire of knowledge
Offers all an extra edge.
The Fire of enlightenment
Pours sublimity and contentment.

Ah! The Fire of devotion
Scorches evil, ill inclination,
Leads all to self purification
Rendering Beatitude, Emancipation.
