Fleeing Anguish

As fires rage in the huge town of Anguish Many a soul perishes among all the flames Burning to charred remnants of their trial Until just one comes along to then effect change He arrived unnoticed, he blended in well He, too, was unsure of his role in this land The people all knew him, for it was foretold That the fires would end with a touch of his hand Many had followed him along all the streets Supporting his mission, his efforts to quell He knew he was gaining power over the fires As he rescued those in Anguish, from the flames of Hell Through time and through thought he then came aware His mission was clear, to end the town’s plight He suppressed all the fires, released them from Anguish As he led the people out, to the town of Delight Now, Delight wasn’t far off, but yet distant enough As it took only one to show the people the route For those who supported, they followed along And lived out their lives without worry and doubt
