World on Fire
I do not want to set the world on fire,
this world has always been burning,
you cannot add flame
when flame is all there is.
That which made this fire
sees the world consume itself
through a devouring lens.
That which watches, comprehends not
that it is the mind, the human mind,
that is the Firestarter,
only those who feed the fire
can quench this blind,
and long enduring,
burning.
