Fire

Allan.D.Mukisa 1992 (N/A)

Fire,feisty much
Burning off the chaff
Revelation in truthfulness
You consume thee but not thou
Tempest rise and flames burst
Ashes fall as smoke rises
Chaos of wasted energy
Purity realised unto atonement

Tammed yet uncontrolled
Destorted in perfection
Misunderstood by critic
Your service is of good but hard to master
Lighting up the darkness with  mighty radiance
Fed by consumption of possibilities.
