The world is on fire,

having simmered too long,

unable to cut off the fuel that drives

the hate, that steers and directs

the dislike and blows it up, makes mole

hills burst like Vesuvius, Earth tired worms

claw at the air and interesting times

are back in vogue once more.

 

The world is on fire, screaming

out injustice whilst having no plan

to purge those that place a spark

of Lucifer against the black sparkling dust,

extreme dislike turns to detest

turns to repulsion, turns the hatred clock
