Fire

Who knows who developed the fire initially?
But we know the significance of its discovery, 
The fire that served countless purposes,
Was invented by someone who was naive of its uses.
He might have invented it without any intention,
But through his inquisitiveness, ended up with an invention
Or he might have taken the stones,
To shape them into amazing forms.
And resulted in the creation of a flicker,
That shortly turned into fire.
And subsequently he had taken it onward,
To reveal the pleasing secret that left him spellbound.
And found out the results,
That escorted to wide-ranging exploits.
Soon it became common throughout the generation,
And the one who invented it was left with no consideration.
