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
