Sequel I To Burning of Camphor
Camphor had to burn to ashes,
To make known its heavenly worth,
But did I realize for once,
That it was inanimate,
And could not escape the fire,
That I set it ablaze with,
It is all together different with animate,
You can “burn”them deep enough,
To vet the rewards they are angling for,
However no reward compares to extinction,
Faced with it animate is going to run,
Human or otherwise,
And run farther than you could think,
Away from point of extinction,
And you could probably say,
With disdain,
That he could not withstand the heat,
And thereby just did not deserve the “seat”,
Also you might go out and search,
To the nearest available of runaways,
Collar him hard and fast,
And say you did not run much and thereby are the best.
