Tinderbox
Just a little box that holds the matchsticks,
compact box with matches inside
Just a little box that holds the matchsticks
Yet they hold the strike of death!
Yet they fire the final flame;
How could something so inconsequential be to blame?
Just a little box that holds the matchsticks,
Ignite and spark in a trash can at the park,
The spark caught the paper
And made a flame so light,
Until all in the trash can caught up in fire bright.
