A Walking Flame

We need to become

A fiery entity

Scorning to the touch

Will be

All outsiders

Who've become distraught

Over our excelled appearance in life

As they've been

Forced to acknowledge why

This mythical truth

Exists before their very eyes

It's hard to deny

A Walking Flame

That's engulfed its adversaries

Leaving no one else to blame

But themselves for their own extinction

A guilty & infamous dying shame

The last line of this piece is striking. I love how you built up to such a resounding image.

W.H. Auden. (to those whom evil is done, do evil in return). It is all I seem to be able to think of after reading your poem. very well done!

Hmmmmm
-thinks a bit-

It can be generally helpful if this type of person has a friend or two always ready with a fire extinguisher. :)

I tease but this is an excellent write. :)

I like this one...has a very revolutionary feel to it. We may be outsiders, but we must stand up and revel in our obscurity. It is certainly hard to deny a "Walking flame", as you so eloquently put it. If we live as the people that we believe other should live as, we are the harbingers of change. Well done!

A beautiful masterpiece. Thankyou for sharing.

A stars gotta shine. Nice little but of rhyme near the end and strong piece.
