The fire

The world closes around me like a noose,

quietly, until the fronds tickle my neck, but draw no humor.

I will fight.  I always fight.

Nature isn’t just bred, it’s born.

My blood is rife with fire, but thorns fall from my fingertips.

I wonder when the fire dies, the fight leaves, extinguishes,

will the world want me then?

…..

..

No.

    The day you have no fire, Mister D, is the day hell freezes over.

    Do you really need the whole world to want you?

    Sydnei: Um…Being a diehard atheist, that would be utterly illogical, now wouldn’t it?
