The Fire

We are a small fire 

searching for desire

An essential tool. The fuel 

to build the flames higher 

but also broaden our horizon 

in these times so dire 

To leave the bodies on the pyre 

Using lies and there true guise 

as kerosene to lead 

and light up there empire. 

To destroy and recreate

How much more before you break

What will it take? To what lengths 

Must we go before we all collaborate

When we are brave. It is cooperation 

in which i crave. Understanding

And forgiveness

Why must we be sentenced

With an eternity of hate

Searching for repentence

And a way to set it straight

This isn't up for debate

There is to much on our plate

For such a small group

Divided up throughout the state

We must'nt wait, no need to be

Afraid you shouldn't underestimate 

strength in great numbers. When we

Are apart, we are outnumbered. This is

How we are kept asunder. Ever wonder

What it would be like to bring the thunder

To create the perfect storm? Well, it's

Beyond our norm but we must take form

Since we were born we were war torn

Scorn. We must swarm

We must rise. Utilize our resources 

In full size. When this takes course 

we must be ready to take force

We are the fire in these times, 

these times so dire. With enough desire

We will continue burning brighter

A flame that can't be tamed

Building and fulfilling higher

A reign that can't be sane

Leaving bodies on the pyre

Using lies and there true guise

As kerosene to lead and light up

There empire

We are the fire, an essential tool

The fuel to build the flames higher

We are, we are the desire

Jackie, "fire" is a powerful metaphor for your message, and expresses your sentiments with intensity. Your appeal is appropriate for today's times, a period in which so many want their "fire" and "flames" to burn hotter, higher, and brighter than all others. I applaud your plea. Nice work.

[Virtue Jackson]

That was really powerful! I personally loved it because it could easily be an epic song by Disturbed. Very good, keep it up!

[Jackie]

He did do a song called the fire. But the lyrics here are definitely my own. Thanks very much for stopping by and taking the time to read this
