#39 Flame Throwers

courtesy: Wordpress Blog Random_Michelle






We each hold our own chaos
in our palms everyday
the embers arise from
within ourselves
agitating recklessly
igniting swiftly then
either subsiding
or dangerously climbing
by the words we hold back
and the ones we do say…
We can be so careless with
this consecrated heat,
innately provided
that often shoots from the tongue
in an instant
purposeful in intent
to annihilate another being,
a perceived threat, dehumanized
with its hateful cynicism
and embellished contempt.
We live in an era
that places its pride
in those who
can the throw their
flames the furthest
shutting down
with faux effectiveness
those who we think
are deserving of it…
Its sparks continue to
flourish even though
its fire disappears
and is continually revived
by the way we shape
the thoughts that we
eventually use
to magnify and proliferate
our own darkest fears.
Your flames could be used
to light up the sky,
and provide genuine warmth
to those who lived
through the coldest of nights
but the power gained
from burning life
into cindered hope
is more popular, accepted
and though 
very often soon regretted
is the wide path where many
will voluntarily go
or choose to remain
since its temporary satisfaction
is easily obtained
by the many others who feed off
it just the same…
it is the path of the soulless
destined to disintegrate away
but for now, unfortunately
that’s the flame thrower’s way.
