Bonfire Insanity

 

The child with matches
is fascinated
and seduced by the flame
that they created
with the flick of the wrist

Clueless are they
about dangerous consequence
attached to combustibility
if the power they now wield
is not applied safely

No adults around
to snatch the fire sticks away
from the naughty boy
who is gonna torch the sky today

Say hello
my soon to be scorched citizens
to the pyrotechnic
flame thrower diplomacy
of the 21st Century
we have unleashed
on a horrified world
by our Juvenile King
who fiddles from his bunker
while counting up profits
and the childish accolades 
of fellow burn it down brats

Beware the blow back
of flammable
regime change politics
inflicted on a tinder box world
